In this work, a new photochemical was isolated from the n-hexane extract of Mesua ferrea L. (seeds). The obtained compound was characterized to be an aliphatic compound namely, Pentatriacontan-8-one. The identification was done with the help of spectral techniques (IR, 1H NMR, Mass spectrum, elemental analysis) and chemical analysis. The compound being novel is first time reported by us.
