Abstract

Abstract The structure of diodantunezone has been revised from 8-to 5-hydroxynaphtho [2, 3- b] furan-4, 9-quinone. Both it and the 8-hydroxy isomer, isodiodantunezone, are present in Lantana achyrantifolia and L. camara. The latter also contains 6-and 7- methoxydiodantunezone, 6-and 7-methoxyisodiodantunezone, and 6-and 7- methoxynaphtho [2, 3-b] furan-4, 9-quinones.
