The synthesis of four potential biomarkers, 13a-. 13b-, 14a- and 14b-ethyl-S-b(H)-podocarpane is reported . GC-MS comparison with an Australian oil C19 tricyclane and the mass spectra of two Puget Sound C19-terpanes evidenced non-identity of the synthetic compounds with the natural products; thus, proposed structures should be revised.
