New xenicane diterpenes isolated from the acetone extract of the soft coral Xenia florida.
Six new xenicane diterpenes have been isolated from the acetone extract of the soft coral Xenia florida. Two of them are diterpenes containing a bicyclic [4.3.1] ring system. Three of them seem to be precursors for diterpenes possessing the bicyclic [4.3.1] ring system. One is a common monocarbocyclic diterpene with a cyclononane skeleton.
