β¦ Synopsis
Long-chain methyl ketones have been found as constituents of the lipids from a wide variety of natural sources, e.g. peat and soil waxes'**, snake skin3, marine crustacea', insect pheromones X6 Recently, Jamieson and Reid' established-the pres-. ence of long-chain acetylenic methyl ketones and the corresponding acids in the lipids of the moss, Funtindis antipyretica and a preliminary investigation indicated that these acetylenic compounds were present in a related moss species, F. dale-

The carrier gas was argon at a flow rate of 60 ml/min.
An improved method for the identification of monomethyl substituted paraffin chains (n-2, n 3 and n-4) by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry is presented. Fatty acids and sphingolipid long-chain bases were converted to their corresponding alcohols, which were analyzed as methyl ethers. These c
