Notes:
The Caribbean sponge Agelas longissima produces large amounts of (2S,3S,4R)-O-(β-D-galactofuranosyl)-(1→4)-(α-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→1)-[(R)-2-hydroxytetracosylamido]-1,3,4-hexadecanetriol (longiside, 1), a glycosphingolipid with an unprecedented carbohydrate moiety containing a galactose unit in the unusual β-furanose form. The structure of longiside was determined by spectroscopic analysis and chemical degradation.
