The Structure and Absolute Stereochemistry of Briaexcavatin U, a New Chlorinated Briarane from a Cultured Octocoral Briareum excavatum
A new chlorinated briarane, briaexcavatin U (1), has been isolated from a cultured octocoral Briareum excavatum. The structure, including the absolute stereochemistry of 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic methods and further confirmed by X-ray data analysis.
