Abstract
The hydrocarbons 7-methylpentadecane (1, n = 0) and 7-methyl-9-n-hexyl heptadecane (1, n = 1) have been synthesized. These compounds arc suitable as model compounds for biodegradation studies on mixtures of oligomers of 1-oetene and related compounds which have been proposed as dielectric fluids for the replacement of PCB's. The synthesis confirms the feasibility of isotope labelling for such biodegradation studies.
