Abstract: | "2,6-Dimethylheptyl sulfate (1) and 6-methyloctyl sulfate (3) were isolated from Daphnia pulex as the Daphnia kairomones that induced morphological defense of a freshwater phytoplankton Scenedesmus gutwinskii var. heterospina (NIES-802). The absolute stereochemistry at C2 of 1 was determined by (1)H-NMR analysis of the (R)-MTPA ester of alcohol 2. The absolute configuration at C6 of 3 was determined by Ohrui's method applied to alcohol 4" |
