Abstract
The phospholipid fatty acid composition of the Caribbean sponge Calyx podatypa was studied, and 85 different fatty acids were identified, in particular the 11-methylpentadecanoic acid and 10-tricosenoic acid, which have no literature precedence. Structural characterization was accomplished by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry on their corresponding methyl esters and dimethyl disulfide derivatives. The structure of 11-methylpentadecanoic acid was further confirmed by total synthesis (17% overall yield) starting from commercially available 10-hydroxydecanoic acid.Entities:
