Abstract
Alkenes in amount of 4% to 19% were isolated from the hydrocarbon fraction of Cistus petals. Odd numbered alkenes with chain lengths from C 23 to C 35 were predominant. All alkenes possess cis configuration. Isomeric monoenes with different positions of the double bonds were observed in most cases. The position of the double bonds could be identified with the aid of combined gas chromatography mass spectrometry of the corresponding di-OTMS-derivatives. Prevailing were positions in Δ9. Alkenes with double bond positions in Δ1, Δ4, Δ5, Δ10, Δ11 and Δ13 were present in lower concentrations. In alkenes with longer chain length the double bonds were found more to the middle of the chain.
