ABSTRACT
From the unsaponifiable fraction (63 g) of linseed oil (25 kg), two terpenic alcohols were isolated by alumina column, thin-layer, and gas-liquid chromatography. They were identified as phytol and geranyl geraniol (a precursor of bi- and tricyclic diterpenes) by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ozonolysis, and mass spectrometry.
