Abstract

Two new odoriferous compounds, dictyoprolene 1 and neodictyoprolene 2 have been isolated from the brown alga Dictyopteris prolifera and their structures determined by chemical and spectral means. Synthesis of optically active 1 and racemic 2 has been made. Dictyoprolene1 and neodictyoprolene 2 have been shown to be the acetates of the 1- undecen-3-ols, the postulated biosynthetic precursors of various C11 hydrocarbons and ...
