Monobromo- (10), bromochloro- (11), and dichloro- (12) dienones were isolated from Aplysina cavernicola (9,10). Both 10 and 11 were isolated as racemic mixtures. The dienone 13 was first obtained as a synthetic product after treatment of aeroplysinin-1 (14) with trifluoroacetic acid (11). Our group isolated 13 from the Jamaican sponge Verongula gigantea as a natural product (12).
