title: A new norsesquiterpene from Hainan soft coral Sinularia sp.
abstract: A new norsesquiterpene, sinunorcaryophyllenol (1), together with four known related terpenoids (2-5) have been isolated from Hainan soft coral Sinularia sp. The structure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic data analysis and by comparison with related model compounds.
