Abstract
The partial configurations of C-25 isoprenoid alkenes isolated from the dia tom Haslea ostrearia Gaillon (Simonsen) have been established. A combinatio n of NMR spectroscopy studies of the alkenes with chiral shift reagents in conjunction with soluble silver beta-diketonate complexes and enantioselect ive gas chromatography of oxidation products of the alkenes was used. Unexp ected differences in highly branched isoprenoid isomer configurations were observed between different laboratory cultures of the alga. (C) 2000 Elsevi er Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
