The absolute configuration of ecklonialactones A, B, and E, novel oxylipins from brown algae of the genera Ecklonia and Egregia.
Ecklonialactones A, B, and E, previously isolated from the brown alga Ecklonia stolonifera, have been isolated from the Oregon phaeophyte Egregia menziesii. The structure and relative stereochemistry of ecklonialactone E were independently determined by various nmr techniques. The absolute stereochemistry of ecklonialactone A was deduced by cd analysis of a dibenzoate derivative, which indicated it possessed a 11S, 12R, 13S, 15R, 16S stereochemistry. Similar 1H- and 13C-nmr data and optical rotations for all of the ecklonialactones indicate that B and E have the same stereochemistry as A at comparable stereocenters.
