✦ Synopsis
A novel tetrahydrophenanthrene derivative I (l,l,7,8-tetramethyl-l,2,3,4tetrahydrophenanthrene), formed from the triterpenoid tetrahymanol 2a by dehydration, ring A and B degradation and aromatisation during sediment diagenesis, has been isolated from a 180 Ma old marine sedimentary rock and identified by ~H and J3C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
