Abstract

A new sesquiterpene ketone (C15H22O; 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, m.p. 227.5°) was isolated from the essential oil of Cyperus scarosiusR.Br. On hydrogenation it gave a dihydro compound, and on deoxidation it yielded the tricyclic hydrocarbon cyperene. The ketone was synthesized from cyperene by chromic acid oxidation. It is assigned structure I and named cyperenone in view of its relationship to cyperene.
