Chapter 14, Problem 14.55SP
In 2012, a group led by Professor Masayuki Satake of the University of Tokyo reported the isolation and structure determination of a toxin from a marine algal bloom that decimated the fish population off the New Zealand coast in 1998. Extensive mass spectrometry and NMR experiments ultimately led to the structure shown below, named Brevisulcenal-F. (See Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2012, 134, 4963-4968.) This structure holds the record for the largest number of fused rings, at 17.
- a. How many other groups are present?
- b. How many alcohol groups are present? Classify the alcohols as 1° or 2° or 3°.
- c. Are there any other oxygen-containing
functional groups ? Which, if any?
