Introduction. ~ During sexual reproduction, fertile female gametes of the marine brown alga Perithalia caudata release caudoxirene (1) as a specific chemical messenger. The signal is secreted together with two inactive by-products, namely viridiene (2, ca. 4%) and multifidene (3, ca. 8%) [l] [2] (Sc

## Abstract The absolute configurations of the two algal pheromones multifidene **1** and viridiene **2** were determined as (+)‐(3__S__, 4__S__)‐3‐[(__Z__)‐1‐butenyl]‐4‐vinylcyclopentene and (+)‐(3__R__, 4__S__)‐3‐[(1__Z__)‐1, 3‐butadienyl]‐4‐vinylcyclopentene, respectively. The strategy involves
