The separation of the enantiomers of the olefinic hydrocarbons multifidene 3 and aucantene 5 from the pheromone blend of the two seaweeds Cutleria multifida and Chorda tomentosa is achieved by gas chromatography on modified cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases. The method is also applicable for the separation of enantiomeric alkyl‐, alkenyl‐ or alkynyl‐substituted cyclooctadienes and cyclopentenes. A plausible rational is presented for the biosynthesis of racemic by‐products of algal pheromone blends.
