L. Garrido et al., Obscuraminols, new unsaturated amino alcohols from the tunicate Pseudodistoma obscurum: structure and absolute configuration, TETRAHEDRON, 57(21), 2001, pp. 4579-4588
The study of the ascidian Pseudodistoma obscurum from Tarifa Island (Cadiz,
Spain) has led to the characterization of six new unsaturated 2-amino-3-ol
compounds, the obscuraminols A-F. Five of them, the obscuraminols B-F, wer
e isolated as their corresponding diacetyl derivatives. Their structures we
re established by spectroscopic analysis, their relative configurations by
NOEDS study of oxazolidinone derivatives, and their absolute configurations
by application of Mosher's method to N-acetyl derivatives. (C) 2001 Elsevi
