β¦ Synopsis
Serious chemical investigations into the phenolic constituents of Sequoia sempervivens heartwood have previously been reported on two occasions. Sherrard and Kurth' described a crystalline material, m.p. 214', named sequoyin and more recently Balogh 2 and Anderson , using their "chromatostick" technique 3 separated three products, Sequirin-A, Sequirin-B, and Sequirin-C, from the expressed extract of fresh green redwood. No structures were sui;gested. We now report the results of our studies on extractives from seasoned heartwood. Concentrated aqueous extract of redwood was extracted with ether, and the ether soluble material was crystallised from acetone-benzene, and then from ethanol to give sequirin-B', m.p. 2l2-2l3', C H 0 17 18 5' tetra-acetate n.p. ION', trimethylether m.p. 135-136',

## Abstract Three new holostane^2)^βtype triterpenoid aglycones named cucumechinol A (1), B (2), and C (3) were isolated from the acidic hydrolysate of the crude glycoside mixture prepared from the whole sea cucumber __Cucumaria echinata__. The structures were identified on the basis of spectral ev
