Due to their production in high proportions during autoxidation of their parent HBI diene, their apparent stability in sediments, and their specific EIMS fragmentations, (Z and E)-2,6,10,14-tetramethyl-7-(3-methylpent-4-enyl)-pentadec-5-en-4-ol TMS derivatives appeared to be useful tracers of HBI autoxidation in sediments.
