title: Lemnaflavoside, a new diterpene glycoside from the soft coral Lemnalia flava.
abstract: Lemnaflavoside (1) and three monoacetates (2-4) have been isolated from the Indo-Pacific soft coral Lemnalia flava, collected off Mombasa, Kenya. The structure of the new glycoside was elucidated by interpretation of MS and 2D NMR data. The sugar of the diterpene glycoside was found to be D-xylose.
