Antibiotica aus algen—XVI : Polyhydroxyphenyläther aus der phaeophycee Halidrys siliquosa

With the aid of preparative layer chromatography several compounds could be isolated from a mixture of acetylated phenols obtained from Halidrys siliquosa (L.) Lyngbye. Peracetylated heptafuhalol as well as its deacetylpermethyl derivative were examined by MS, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR methods. Other constituents are probably lower members of a homologous series with 6, 5 and 4 phloroglucinol nuclei, respectively. The established building principle is also valid for a “high molecular mass polymer” fraction of acetylated phenols from Halidrys. The free phenols have the properties of tannins, and will be denoted phlorotannins.
