Abstract

From the oleoresin of the Yeddo spruce we have isolated a new sesquiterpene alcohol for which, on the basis of spectral and chemical characteristics, the structure of 5S, 8S-germacra-1E,6E-dien-5-ol (I) is suggested. The photocyclization of the alcohol isolated has given bourbonol, and its reaction with formic acid has yielded γ-and δ-cadinenes, the formates of T-muurolol and of T- and α-cadinols, and free T-muurolol and T- and α-cadinols.
