Abstract
(Z)-5-Tetradecen-14-olide (1), (Z)-5-dodecenyl acetate (2), and (Z)-5-tetradecenyl acetate (3) have been isolated from the absolute oil of Hibiscus abelmoschusL. The lactone 1 is a new macrocyclic musk compound, and the occurrence of the two acetates 2 and 3 in a plant is reported for the first time. Syntheses of the three compounds are described.
