Abstract
Four stereoisomers of (+)-pteroenone, a defensive metabolite of the abducted Antarctic pteropod Clione antarctica, were synthesized by employing anti-/syn-selective aldol reactions as the key step. These compounds displayed no antifeedant activity against a generally benthic Antarctic fish that does not co-occur with this pteropod.
