Abstract
It is shown here that the red seaweed Laurencia microcladia, collected off the torrent II Rogiolo, south of Livorno, contains rogiolenyne A (= (−)‐(1__R*,2__S*,3__R*,5__S*,7__S*)‐2‐(bromomethyl)‐5‐[(Z)‐1‐chlorohex‐3‐en‐5‐ynyl]‐3‐ethyl‐4,8‐dioxabicyclo[5.1.0]octane; (−)‐1) while the sponge Spongia zimocca, which grows in the same small area, contains rogiolenyne B (= (−)‐(2__R*3__R*,4__R*,5__R*,7__S__*)‐3‐(bromomethyl)‐5‐chloro‐7‐[(Z)‐1‐chlorohex‐3‐en‐5‐ynyl]‐2‐ethyloxepan‐4‐ol__; (−)‐4a) and its acetate, rogiolenyne C((−)‐4b). These structures, which are based on extensive NMR and MS data and on chemical transformation, are the first examples of branched marine C~15~ acetogenins. Biogenesis of (−)‐1 in L. microcladia is thought to involve C(12) extrusion form a C~15~ linear tetraen‐1‐yne precursor via H^+^‐induced cyclopropane ring closure, followed by Br^+^‐induced cyclopropane ring opening, aided by C–O^−^ attack (Scheme 2). It is also proposed that transfer of (−)‐1 to S. zimocca is followed by epoxide ring opening by Cl^−^ to give (−)‐4a and acetylation to give (−)‐4b.
