Abstract
The publications on the GC-MS identification of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene in various natural objects were critically considered. Significant similarity of the mass spectra and coincidence of the GC retention indices on standard nonpolar phases of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene (761±3) and its isomer (toluene, 760±8) do not allow one to assert that the spirocyclic hydrocarbon was found in all the cases. Additional analytical parameters should be applied to differentiate such isomers.
