Two macrocyclic diterpenes, a- and# 3-4, 8, 13-duvatriene-l, 3-diols, isolatedfrom tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), are shown through chemical and physicochemical findings to be diastereoisomers of 12-isopropyl-l, 5, 9-trimethyl-4, 8, 13-cyclotetradecatriene-l, 3-diol (I). The fourteen-membered ring here represented has not been encountered previously.The various terpenoids which havebeen isolated from natural sources present an imposing array of widely different and unique structures. An interesting group of compounds which have been characterized are the macrocyclic terpenes possess-ing nine-, ten-, and eleven-membered ring systems. 2 We now wish to report the isolation and characterization of two new macrocyclic terpenes for which a fourteen-carbon ring systemis indicated. Hexane extraction of aged burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) andchromatography of the extract resulted in the isolation of two isomeric alcohols, to which the names«-4, 8, 13-duvatriene-1, 3-diol, and 6-4, 8, 13-duvatriene-l, 3-diollb have been assigned. The «-and 6-duvatrienediolsconstitute 0.01% and 0.005% of the dry burleyleaf and also are found in flue-cured, Turkish, and unaged burley tobaccos.
