Gas chromatographic examination of an essential oil of Santolina chamaecyparissus L.

It is the considered opinion of the authors that in view of the good growth habits of S. chamaecyparissus, an oil could be obtained economically from this plant.

Unsaturated Components in the Essential Oil of Anthemis nobilis L. (Roman Chamomile)

French authors recently presented their analytical findings on the oil using the negative chemical ionization technique in mass spectrometry. They tracked the GLC profile of the complete oil with the mass numbers of the quasi-molecular ions [M-H]- in combination with the carboxylate anion RCOO-.

The same holds for eight esters of the angelate or tiglate type, respectively. We have worked in a more traditional way and wish here to present the results concerning some of these methacrylates, crotonates, angelates and tiglates. All esters mentioned by us have proved by comparison with authentic synthetically prepared samples.
