Two unprecedented labdane-type diterpenoids haplomintrins A (1) and B (2) with six rings system were isolated from a Chinese liverwort Haplomitrium mnioides. Light-driven reaction of homologous haplomitrenonolides C (6), A (4), and D (3) afforded haplomintrins A鈥揅 (1, 2, and 7), respectively, while 4 was converted to more complex congeners haplomintrins D鈥揋 (8鈥?b>11) through intramolecular cyclization. Formation of 1 and 2 from compounds 6 and 4, respectively, helps us to postulate that a photochemical reaction is involved in the biosynthetic pathway. These structure features can be used as molecular markers of H. mnioides, and their allelopathic effects are also preliminarily tested.
