Ferns Adiantum

Several stable triterpenoid natural products containing 1,2,4-trioxolanes have been characterized, for example adian-5-ene ozonide (175) isolated from the fern Adiantum monochlamys <90CPB79,...

The term adiananes stems from the ferns of genus Adiantum (Pteridaceae) from which (-)-5-adianene was isolated. The leaves of Rhododendron simiarum (Ericaceae) were found to contain (+)-5-adianen-3p-ol (Simiarenol). Filicanes are also isolated from ferns 3-filicen-23-al (filicenal) as an example is a constituent of maiden s hair fern Adiantum pedatum. 

Small amounts of the dextrorotatory parent hydrocarbon of the ten naturally abundant gammaceranes have been extracted from oil slate. 3-Hydroxy-derivatives such as (+)-16-gammacerene-3p-ol are constituents of the roots of bitter herb Picris hieracioides (Asteraceae). 22p-Hydroxy-30-nor-gammaceran-21-one is found in the Japanese fern Adiantum monochlamys.
