Two furanosesquiterpenes, (5’E)-5-(2’,6’-dimethylocta-5’,7’-dienyl) furan-3-carboxylic acid (1) and (1’E,5’E)-5-(2’,6’-dimethylocta-l’,5’,7’-trienyl) furan-3-carboxylic acid (2), were isolated from soft coral Sinularia lochmodes collected from Palikir pass at Pohnpei Micronesia, June, 1990 in Hawaii. Their structures were elucidated by 1H, 13C NMR, Homo-COSY, 1H-13C (1 bond) Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence Spectroscopy (HMQC), 1H-13C (2 and 3 bond) Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Coherence Spectroscopy (HMBC), Electron Impact Mass Spectroscopy (EI-ms), and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR).
