Chemical investigation on the South China Sea gorgonian coral Subergorgia suberosa has led to the isolation of one new butenolide (5R)-5-(1-ethoxypropyl)-5-hydroxy-3,4-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one (1) as a pair of inseparable epimers, along with two known butenolides (S)-5-hydroxy-3,4-dimethyl-5-propylfuran-2(5H)-one (2) and (S)-5-hydroxy-3,4-dimethyl-5-pentylfuran-2(5H)-one (3). Their structures including absolute configurations were determined unambiguously by detailed analyses of spectroscopic data and by comparison with the available literature. Compounds 1-3 exhibited moderate antifouling activities against the settlement of Balanus amphitrite larvae, whereas compound 4, the acetyl derivative of 3, showed no antifouling activity at the concentrations up to 25g/mL.
