Sn. Fedorov et al., Structure and absolute configuration of a new rearranged chamigrane-type sesquiterpenoid from the sea hare Aplysia sp., TETRAHEDR L, 41(12), 2000, pp. 1979-1982
(6S,10S)-3,10-Dimethyl-7,11-dimethylidenespiro[5,5]undec-2-en-4-one (1), a
new rearranged chamigrane-type sesquiterpenoid with two sp(2)-hybridized ca
rbons in alpha-positions to the spiro-atom, was isolated from the alcoholic
extract of the sea hare Aplysia sp. and its structure and absolute configu
ration were established by chemical transformations, NMR, EIMS, IR, UV and
CD spectroscopy. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
