2001  Capon, R. J., Skene, C., Liu, E. H. T., Lacey, E., Gill, J. H., Heiland, K. and Friedel, T. (2001) The isolation and synthesis of novel nematocidal dithiocyanates from an Australian marine sponge, Oceanapia sp.. Journal of Organic Chemistry, 66 23: 7765-7769.

Bioassay-directed fractionation of the EtOH extract of an Oceanapia sp. collected off the northern Rottnest Shelf, Australia, has yielded three novel dithiocyanates, thiocyanatins A (1), B (2a), and C (2b). The structures were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis and confirmed by total synthesis. In addition to featuring an unprecedented dithiocyanate functionality, thiocyanatins possess an unusual 1,16-difunctionalized n-hexadecane carbon skeleton and are revealed as a hitherto unknown class of nematocidal agents
