title: Absolute configuration of a ceramide with a novel branched-chain fatty acid isolated from the epiphytic dinoflagellate, Coolia monotis.
abstract: The absolute configuration of the chiral center at the C15 position of a novel branched-chain fatty acid derived from a new ceramide isolated from the epiphytic dinoflagellate Coolia monotis was determined to be of R from by reversed-phase HPLC after cleavage to 12-methylpentadecanoic acid and subsequent conversion with the chiral fluorescent reagent, (1R,2R)-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)cyclohexanol.
