Further investigation of the neutral fraction of the methanolic extract of Sindora sumatrana MIQ. (Leguminosae) has yielded five new sesquiterpenoids: a new trans-isodaucane diol (1), two caryophyllane-type epoxydiols (2, 3), the diacetate of a caryophyllane-type trialcohol (4) and a caryolane-type hydroxy-ketone (5) which possesses an α-C-12 methano bridge. The structure elucidation of the compounds was based mainly on two-dimensional NMR techniques. The biosynthetic significance of the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 5 to give a clovane-type hydroxyketone (10) is also discussed.
REARRANGED CARYOPHYLLENES BY BIOTRANSFORMATION WITH CHAETOMIUM COCHLIODES

Biotransformation of caryophyllene by Chaetomium cochliodes DSM 1909 (=ATCC 10195) leads to 4,5-epoxy-caryophyllene-7,12-diol as the main product.The hydroxylation of the geminal methyl groups is not very stereospecific, but as with Diploida gossypina the main product possesses the 11R-configuration.Side-reactions are ring contraction or formation of clovanes, probably via epoxide rearrangements.The use of mono- or diepoxy-caryophyllene as the substrate does not increase the yields significantly.Instead, diepoxy-caryophyllene gave a punctatin derivative.The same molecular framework, but with a different configuration, was observed among the fermentation products from Diplodia gossypina, which supports the assumption that a caryophyllane is the precursor of this class of antibiotics.
