Two new bicyclic cembranolides from a new Sarcophyton species and determination of the absolute configuration of sarcoglaucol-16-one†
Abstract
During the chemical investigation of a new species of soft coral belonging to the genus Sarcophyton, two novel cembranoid compounds with a 12Z double bond (1 and 2) were obtained. Determination of the double bond configurations was done using
Additionally, we report the absolute stereochemistry of the cembrane sarcoglaucol-16-one (6), which was determined using the modified Mosher′s method.
