Abstract

Chemical compositions of three collections of the red alga Laurencia nipponica from the western part of the Sea of Japan were studied. One of them contained a series of the previously known sesquiterpenoids. Another one gave C 15 bromoallene ethers, predominantly. Finally, two new halogenated diterpenes, 15-bromoparguer-9(11)-ene-16-ol and 15-bromoparguer-7-ene-16-ol, were isolated from the third collection of the same species. Structures of these diterpenoids were established by 1D and 2D NMR ( 1H– 1H COSY, DEPT, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY) along with molecular calculations for conformations having lowest energies and mass spectroscopy. Diversity and variability of halogenated secondary metabolites in L. nipponica were discussed.
