Abstract
The wood extractives of birch (Betula verrucosa Erh.) have been analysed. A large part of them are fatty acid esters of terpenoid and steroid alcohols. About half of the alcohols are compounds with the general formula H [long dash][CH2 [long dash] C(CH3)= CH [long dash] CH2]n[long dash] OH n being 6, 7, 8, and 9. About 60% of their double bonds have the cis configuration. The name betulaprenols is proposed for the alcohols.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
