Abstract: A sesquiterpene lactone was isolated from Nouelia insignis Franch, and its structure was elucidated (compound 1)by 2D NMR to be 8β, 9-dihydro-onoseriolide. Complete assignment of the 1H and 13C chemical shifts for the compound was obtained. The assignments of H-1 and H-2 of the compound previously reported were found incorrect, and the correct assignments were given. The results of this study may have some practical significance for the structural elucidation of onoseriolide sesquiterpene lactones.

Key words: NMR, chemical shift assignment, onoseriolide, Nouelia insignis Franch
