Abstract

The essential oil of Artemisia vestita (Compositae) was investigated by GLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. Main constituents are α-, β-, γ-himachalene, caryophyllene, germacrene D, himachalol, allohimachalol, α-, γ-atlantone, 1,8-cineole, yomogi alcohol, artemisia, and santolina alcohol and their acetates, and the thujones and thujanols. The characteristic oder of the oil is determined by the freshly smelling, 1, 8-cineole and thujone, and by the woody and sweet note of himachalol and atlantone.
