Four stereoisomers of (+)‐pteroenone, a defensive metabolite of the abducted Antarctic pteropod Clione antarctica , were synthesized by employing anti‐ / syn ‐selective aldol reactions as the key step. These compounds displayed no antifeedant activity against a generally benthic Antarctic fish that does not co‐occur with this pteropod.
