The defensive secretion of the nudibranch Phyllidia varicosa consists of two isocyanosesquiterpenes: the previously described 9‐isocyanopupukeanane (1), and its 2‐isomer (4), for which we report the structure and properties. The mixture originates with a sponge, Hymeniacidon sp., where it is produced in varying proportions. CD. measurements and X‐ray diffraction data establish the absolute configuration of the two metabolites.
