The tetracyclic diterpene waihoensene has been identified in some specimens of Podocarpus totara, particularly in a varietal form, P. totara var. waihoensis. We detail the structural analysis of this unique compound by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) correlation experiments, and describe some chemistry conducted on a previously reported tetracyclic alkene, the product of acid-induced rearrangement of the fenestrane diterpene lauren-1-ene. This work establishes an interrelationship between the triquinane structures of laurenene and waihoensene.

New natural sources are reported for the unique rosettane diterpene, (−)-lauren-1-ene (1) along with the structure of the first laurenene-related plant metabolite. This new compound (4), isolated from the New Zealand podocarp, Podocarpus totara var waihoensis and named waihoensene, has a perhydro-4H-pentaleno[6a,1-c]indene ring system. Waihoensene is a double bond position isomer of a compound which
