title: Iridoids in equatorial and tropical flora.
abstract: The leaves of Tecoma chrysantha Jacq. a tree of the tropics, contain together with 6-epiaucubin ( 1), a less polar iridoid 2. Chemical and spectroscopical data demonstrated that 2 contains a residue of 1 esterified by 8-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoic acid ( 3), a rare monoterpenic product.
