Abstract
Cuticular wax of Quercus robur leaves contains a homologous series of alkyl esters ranging in chain lengths front C 36 to C 52. GC-MS analysis showed that each carbon chain length was represented by a mixture of isomers arising from different combinations of long chain 1-alkanols and long chain alkanoic acids. Both even- and odd- numbered chain lengths were found with the even-numbered ones clearly being predominant.
