Normal and isoprenoid alkanes from an Israeli shale
Abstract
Normal (C 14-C 36) and isoprenoid (C 14-C 20) saturated alkanes were isolated from a shale from Nebi Musa, near Jericho. Relative proportions of the C 16, C 18, and C 19 isoprenoids with respect to the C 17 isoprenoid confirm diagenetic schemes in which the compounds could be derived from phytol.
