| Abstract
| - A new sesquiterpene derivative named mochiquinone (1) was isolated from the Caribbean gorgoniancoral Pseudopterogorgia rigida collected off northeastern Venezuela, along with the known compounds,α-curcumene, (−)-curcuphenol, (−)-curcuquinone, and (−)-curcuhydroquinone. The structure of the newcompound was determined by spectroscopic analysis of its acetylated derivative and comparison withknown compounds.
