title: A sesquiterpene hydrocarbon from the bogwoods of Cryptomeria japonica D. Don, presumably formed by diagenetic hydrogenation.
abstract: Structure of an hitherto unknown component of the essential oils from two bogwoods of Cryptomeria japonica D. Don was determined by mass spectrometry and NMR analyses. It was identified as cadina-1(10)-ene, a new cadinane-type sesquiterpene hydrocarbon with a single double bond.
