Abstract:
A reinvestigation of Ageratum fastigiatum afforded, in addition to known compounds, several new farnesene derivatives including some tetrahydropyrane derivatives. Furthermore a sesquiterpene lactone derived from daucane and a minor derivative of the ent-labdanes isolated previously were isolated. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
