Popis: The isotope ratios in cis -clerodane furanoditerpene lactones labelled from [4 R - 3 H 1 , 2- 14 C]MVA suggested two 1,2-hydrogen shifts and two 1,2-methyl shifts during the formation ofthe ring system of these diterpenes. Chemical degradation of clerodane diterpenoids radiolabelled from [2- 14 C]MVA revealed that the gem -methyls of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) retained their identity during the cyclization.
