(3Z)-Bromofucin from a South African sea hare.
Specimens of the cosmopolitan sea hare Aplysia parvula, collected in the Tsistsikamma National Park on the south-east coast of South Africa yielded the new dibromo-C15-acetogenin, (3Z)-bromofucin (1). Standard spectroscopic methods were used to establish the structure of this compound.
