Novel antiproliferative alkyl sulfates from the Mediterranean tunicate Ascidia mentula

A bioassay guided approach was used to isolate two antiproliferative sulfated metabolites, the 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-hexadecan-1,19-sodium disulfate (1a) and the heneicosane-1,21-sodium disulfate (2a) from the Mediterranean tunicate Ascidia mentula. Their structures were determined by an extensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods.

Synthesis of 13C-labelled ω-hydroxy carboxylic acids of the general formula HO213C-(CH2)n-CH2OH or HO2C-(CH2)n-13CH2OH (n = 12, 16, 20, 28)

13C-labelled ω-hydroxy-carboxylic acids HO213C-(CH2)n-CH2OH or HO2C-(CH2)n-13CH2OH (n = 12, 16, 20, 28) with 13C labels selectively introduced either at the carboxy group or at the primary alcohol function at the end of the hydrocarbon chain have been synthesized. Different synthetic strategies had to be applied depending on the position of the label, the chain length of the respective synthetic target and due to economic considerations. 13C labels in general were introduced by nucleophilic substitution of a suitable leaving group with labelled potassium cyanide and subsequent hydrolysis of the nitriles to produce the corresponding labelled carboxy functions, which may also be reduced to give the labelled primary alcohol group. All new compounds are characterized by GC/MS, IR and NMR methods as well as by elemental analysis.

Synthetic polyester from algae oil

Current efforts to technically use microalgae focus on the generation of fuels with a molecular structure identical to crude oil based products. Here we suggest a different approach for the utilization of algae by translating the unique molecular structures of algae oil fatty acids into higher value chemical intermediates and materials. A crude extract from a microalga, the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, was obtained as a multicomponent mixture containing amongst others unsaturated fatty acid (16:1, 18:1, and 20:5) phosphocholine triglycerides. Exposure of this crude algae oil to CO and methanol with the known catalyst precursor [{1,2-(tBu2PCH2) 2C6H4}Pd(OTf)](OTf) resulted in isomerization/methoxycarbonylation of the unsaturated fatty acids into a mixture of linear 1,17- and 1,19-diesters in high purity (>99%). Polycondensation with a mixture of the corresponding diols yielded a novel mixed polyester-17/19.17/19 with an advantageously high melting and crystallization temperature. Algae as feedstock: Crude algae oil from the strain Phaeodactylum tricornutum was transformed into polycondensation-grade purity monomers and thus utilized as feedstock for the production of an algae oil based polyester.
