Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons from the seed oil of <I>Iris tectorum</I> M. were investigated. Fractionation of the hexane extract of the seeds by column chromatography on activated alumina and steam distillation gave monoterpene-free hydrocarbons which showed approximately thirty peaks by capillary gas chromatography. A combination of techniques including a silver nitrate addition procedure, rectification and silver nitrate-impregnated silica gel column chromatography was used to separate the sesquiterpenes.<BR>Twenty-four compounds could be identified on the basis of spectral data (IR, NMR, GC, GC-MS) and chemical transformations. The main components were germacrene D (45%), alloaromadendrene (12%), δ-, γ-cadinene (13%), and β-caryophyllene (7%). These sesquiterpenes in Iridaceae plants were characterized for the first time in the present research.
