The isolation and identification of the C 17 saturated isoprenoid hydrocarbon 2, 6, 10-trimethyltetradecane from a Devonian shale: The role of squalane as a possible …
A C17 saturated isoprenoid hydrocarbon, 2, 6, 10-trimethyltetradecane, has been isolated from the Antrim Shale and has been characterized on the basis of capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. This represents the first report of this isoprenoid alkane in crude oils and sediments. A standard C17 isoprenoid has been synthesized from farnesol. The possibility that a C30 isoprenoid, such as squalane, may be a precursor of ...
