✦ Synopsis

A new sesterterpene, caminatal 1, containing a bicyclic terpenoid moiety with an aldehyde appendage in combination with an isolated isoprenic aromatic ring leading to a novel carbon skeleton has been obtained from the Antarctic sponge Suberites caminatus. Its structure and relative stereochemistry were established by spectroscopic evidence and biogenetic considerations.
