Abstract

A novel taxane with an unprecedented hemiacetal ring between C-13 and C-9 was isolated from the needles of Taxus cuspidata. The structure was characterized as (12αH)-2α,10β-diacetoxy-5α-cinnamoyloxy-9α,13α-epoxytax-4(20)-ene-11β,13β-diol (1). This is the first example of a natural taxane with a C-13 and C-9 oxygen bridge to form an unusual 6/8/6/6-membered ring system.
