    Abstract
    Labdanes are a large and important class of diterpenes. Colophospermum mopane seems to be a source of 'primitive' 9, 13-epoxylabdanes. The structures of these compounds are 'missing links' in the biogenesis of 9, 13-epoxylabdanes. This research reports a new compound extracted from the seeds of C. mopane. The structures of this compound has been completely elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, and the stereochemistry of the compound supports predictions based on biosynthetic arguments. Furthermore, this thesis also corrects NMR assignments previously reported by another group.
