Two isomeric 7,8-epoxycembra-3,11,15-trien-16,2-olides have been isolated from different species of the soft coral genus Efflatounaria. The structure of each was deduced spectroscopically , and the relative stereochemistry of one was determined by X-ray crystallography. The absolute stereochemistry of each cembranolide was obtained by chemical correlation with known compounds.
