The 1‐glycerol ether of 17Z‐tetracosenol has been identified as a major constituent of the dichloromethanesoluble extracts of two marine sponges,Cinachyra alloclada andUlosa ruetzleri. Spectral analysis and chemical degradations led to the assigned structure. Batyl alcohol was also found, in lesser quantities, inU. ruetzleri, but not inC. alloclada.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
