Brasilenyne and cis-dihydrorhodophytin: Antifeedant medium-ring haloethers from a sea hare (Aplysia brasiliana)

RESUMO

Two straight-chain C15 fish antifeedants have been isolated from the sea hare Aplysia brasiliana. Chemical, spectral, and x-ray diffraction studies led to the characterization of these medium-ring ethers as brasilenyne (2) and cis-dihydrorhodophytin (3). The oxonin ring system of 2 is novel in nature. Biosynthetic considerations permit the postulation that a third compound, a noncrystalline congener of these compounds, is cis-isodihydrohodophytin (4).
