The absolute stereochemistries for both compounds were determined by CD analysis of the p-bromobenzoate derivatives. Two other eicosanoids were also isolated from whole animals [198], The trihydroxylated oxylipin 8jR,11S,12R-trihydroxyeicosa-5Z,9 ,14Z,17Z-tetraenoic acid (trioxilin A4,150) was detected in, or isolated from, five starfish species P. miniata, Dermasterias imbricata, Pycnopodia helianthoides, Culcita novaeguinea, and Nardoa tubercolata. Its structure was determined by H and 13C NMR and FAB-MS analyses of the natural product and of an acetonide derivative. The co6 analog of this compound (151) was isolated only from P. helianthoides. The relative stereochemistry in these metabolites (150, 151) was established from a comparison of NMR shifts with malyngic acid, a trihydroxylated C18 compound isolated from Lyngbya majuscula, while the absolute stereochemistry was proposed on the basis of the earlier isolation of 8R-HETE from P. miniata.

Recently, Curtin and Paul (114) have used the pyroelectric effect for the direct assignment of the absolute structure of crystals of p-bromobenzoic anhydride. 

The presence of a polar axis confers anisotropic activity to organic crystals (Curtin Paul, 1981 Desiraju, 1984b). Common polar (noncentrosymmetric) space groups adopted by organic crystals areP2i2i2i and P2i- While chiral crystals must have polar directions, polar crystals need not be chiral. Anisotropic reactivity is seen for instance in the reaction of ammonia with p-bromobenzoic anhydride, which crystallizes with a polar axis the polar axis directs the reaction, p-bromobenzoic anhydride is chiral as well as polar. Chirality of the crystalline anhydride has been exploited to resolve a racemic gaseous amine the chiral crystal preferentially reacts with one of the enantiomers of the amine. Thus when p-bromobenzoic anhydride crystals are exposed to vapours of racemic phenylethylamine, the resulting amide contains one of the enantiomers in excess.

Elemental Analysis. The acetone fractions were analyzed for C, H,- and N by an automatic analyzer. Sulfur and the halogens (i.e., Cl and Br) were analyzed by combustion and subsequent titration. The following standard compounds were used for quality assurance (QA) purposes acetanilide (C, H, N), sulfanilamide (S), p-chlorobenzoic acid (Cl), and p-bromobenzoic acid (Br).
