Ad. Rodriguez et Jj. Soto, 5 NEW PSEUDOPTERANE DITERPENES FROM THE CARIBBEAN SEA PLUME PSEUDOPTEROGORGIA-ACEROSA PALLAS, GORGONACEA, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 44(1), 1996, pp. 91-94
Five new pseudopteranoid diterpenes, pseudopteradiene (2), pseudoptera
dienoic acid (3), 11-pseudopteranol (4), pseudopteranoic acid (5), and
diepoxygorgiacerodiol (7), along with five previously described analo
gues, have been isolated from Puerto Rican specimens of the gorgonian
octocoral Pseudopterogorgia acerosa. Detailed analysis of the spectral
data and chemical methods were used to establish their structures and
to define the relative stereochemistry.
