Abstract

The sesquiterpene alcohols 5S,8S-germacra-1E,6E-dien-5-ol, (+)-α-bisabolol, hedycaryol, and β-eudesmol and also the previously undescribed alcohols thujopsan-2α-ol (I) and microbiotol. Microbiotol is a tricyclic tertiary alcohol with the empirical formula C15H26O, mp 112–113°C, containing in its molecule four tertiary methyl groups and cyclopropane ring.
