ABSTRACT
Three furanoid clerodanes have been isolated from the stem bark of Croton eluteria Bennett. Their structures have been established by spectroscopic methods. The compounds were named cascarillin B (7alpha-acetoxy-3,4,15,16-diepoxy-12-oxo-cleroda-13(16),14-dien-20-al), cascarillin C (7alpha-acetoxy-15,16,12,20-diepoxy-20-hydroxy-cleroda-3,4,13(16),14-triene) and cascarillin D (7alpha-acetoxy-3,4,15,16-diepoxy-cleroda-13(16),14-dien-20-al).
