A novel sesquiterpenoid dimer, named multistalide C ( 1 ), together with two known congeners, shizukaols C ( 2 ) and D ( 3 ), was isolated from the whole plant of Chloranthus japonicus Sieb. The structures of compounds 1 , 2 , 3 were elucidated by extensive HR‐ESI‐MS, 1D, and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1 , 2 , 3 exhibited significant toxic effects on brine shrimp larvae ( Artemia salina ). The absolute configuration of 1 was established by CD/TDDFT calculations. The related compound chlorahololide A was also reinvestigated. The previous assignment of the absolute configuration of chlorahololide A and several related sesquiterpenoid dimers, based on an incorrect application of the exciton chirality method, is criticized.
