Surprisingly, rogioldiol B and rogioldiol C (below left and below right, respectively), isolated from the red seaweed Laurencia microcladia as the first examples of 15,14‐friedoobtusane diterpenes, have opposite configurations at C10, which suggests that they are formed along two different biogenetic pathways involving mirror‐image folding of a geranyl geraniol‐derived precursor.
