Abstract
The wax of Juniperus ridida Sieb. et Zucc. was found to contain caprylic, capric, lauric, palmitic and montanic acids in combination with ceryl and myricyl alcohols. Besides these constituents was found a compound of a large molecule (mol. wt. ca 2600) which by saponification produced an ω-hydroxytetracosanic acid. The authors assumed it to be a kind of “etholide” of Bougault and to be composed of seven molecules of the acid. The ω-hydroxytetracosanic acid itself easily polymerizes to a gummy substance by distillation.
