Abstract
Gregarithecinol (1), a new trichodiene/bazzanene-type sesquiterpene, was isolated from the fungus Gregarithecium curvisporum KT4079. This compound features a rotatable sp3 linkage connecting both asymmetric cyclohexane and cyclopentane moieties. Consequently, elucidating their configurational relationship using conventional spectral analysis alone was challenging. However, by analyzing multiple observed characteristic spectral profiles in combination with DFT calculations, the relative and absolute configurational relationships between the segments were successfully established, whereas DP4 analysis alone was inconclusive.
