R. Denys et al., TROPICAL MARINE-ALGAE .10. ISOLAUREFUCIN METHYL-ETHER, A NEW LAUROXOCANE DERIVATIVE FROM THE RED ALGA DASYPHILA-PLUMARIODES, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 46(7), 1993, pp. 1073-1077
An investigation of the red alga Dasyphila plumariodes resulted in the
isolation of the new metabolite isolaurefucin methyl ether )-pent-2-e
n-4-ynyl!-2,8-dioxabicyclo5:2.1!decane! (1), and the previously repor
ted metabolite chlorofucin (2). Complete and unambiguous n.m.r. assign
ments are provided for (1) and (2). The absolute configuration assigne
d to (1) is tentative, and is based on its spectral similarity and co-
occurrence with (2).
