Notes:
(E)-9-Isopropyl-6-methyl-5,9-decadien-2-one (1a), a terpenoid C14-ketone with a novel skeleton, was isolated from costus root oil (Saussurea lappa CLARKE) and its structure established by a two-step synthesis from thuja ketone (2). The possible role of the new compound as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the irones is discussed.
