Abstract
A diterpene hydrocarbon and diterpene ketone isolated from the paracloacal gland secretions of the Chinese alligator (alligator sinensis) were examined by GC-MS and 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and IR spectroscopy, and identified as 4,8,12-trimethyl-1-(1-methylethenyl)-3,7,11-cyclotetradecatrien e (cembrene A, 1) and its congeneric ketone, 4,8,12-trimethyl-1-(1-methylethenyl)-3,7-cyclotetradecadien- 10-one (2), respectively. This is the first report of cembrene A from a vertebrate; the ketone has not been described previously.Entities:
