Spb. Ovenden et Rj. Capon, TRUNCULINS G-I - NEW NORSESTERTERPENE CYCLIC PEROXIDES FROM A SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN MARINE SPONGE, LATRUNCULIA SP, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 51(7), 1998, pp. 573-579
A Latrunculia sp, collected off Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, returned t
hree new norsesterterpene cyclic peroxides. Trunculins G (9), H (10) a
nd I (11) were isolated as their methyl esters (12), (13) and (14) res
pectively. Gross structures for these new trunculins were assigned on
the basis of spectroscopic analysis, while the absolute stereochemistr
y about the cyclic peroxide terminus was established by application of
the Horeau and Mosher procedures.
