Leiopathic Acid, a Novel Optically Active Hydroxydocosapentaenoic Acid, and related compounds, from the black coral Leiopathes sp. of Saint Paul Island (S. Indian Ocean)

Abstract The antipatharian Leiopathes sp., collected around Saint Paul Island, is shown here to contain, in relatively high amounts, the novel fatty acid leiopathic acid ( = (+)‐(10 R ,7 Z ,11 E ,13 Z ,16 Z ,19 Z )‐10‐hydroxy‐7,11,13,16,19‐docosapentaenoic acid; (+)‐ 1 ), besides (+)‐(8 R ,5 Z ,9 E...
