Isolation and characterization of kallosin A, a novel rearranged pseudopterane diterpenoid from the Caribbean sea plume Pseudopterogorgia kallos (Bielschowsky)

J Org Chem. 2003 Jun 13;68(12):4977-9. doi: 10.1021/jo0343329.

Abstract

The Caribbean alcyonacean Pseudopterogorgia kallos is shown to contain a novel rearranged pseudopterane diterpene, kallosin A (1), possessing several unusual structural features. In addition to having two distinct 2(3H)- and 2(5H)-furanone moieties, kallosin A is based on a new carbon skeleton. The structural assignment of 1 was based mainly on 1D and 2D NMR spectral data and was further supported by accurate mass measurement and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
