Abstract
Chemical and spectral evidence indicates that a solid waxy material, isolated from the leaves and stems of Melilotus alba (sweet clover), is a mixture of aliphatic esters. Vapor-phase chromatography of the saponified esters has shown that this fraction consists of esters of long-chain, saturated acids and alcohols containing even numbers of carbon atoms. The acids vary in length from 16 to 30 carbon atoms. The predominant alcohol contains 26 carbon atoms, but significant amounts of alcohols of 24 and 28 carbon atoms are also present.
