Abstract

The essential oils of the neotropical deciduous tree Bursera chemapodicta are short-chain alkanes and alkanoic derivatives, which contrast to the terpenoid resins of other characterized Bursera species. The resin composition of B. chemapodicta differs from leaf to twig, indicating a tissue specificity for non-terpenoid essential oil synthesis. Field-collected leaves contained an average of 4.38% heptane and 5.32% total semi-volatiles. This is a major switch in resin chemistry from terpenoid to linear alkanes within the genus Bursera.
