Heterocyclic Trace Components in the Essential Oil of Coriander

The essential oil of coriander is obtained from the dried fruits of the plant Coriandrum sativum L, belonging to the family Apiaceae. It is marked by a very high percentage of linalool (approximately 70%), but the olfactory note of this monoterpene tertiary alcohol—when isolated by distillation—is quite different from the one of the purely synthetic counterpart. The special sensory effects of coriander oil have therefore always stirred the attention of flavorists and perfumers all over the world.

New compounds with small rings in essential oils

Despite the continuing discovery of new synthetic fragrance raw materials, essential oils still remain the other half of the foundation of perfumery. Consequently, the analysis of essential oils is still very much of interest, as is illustrated by the excellent series of articles by Lawrence in this journal. We now wish to report a number of products containing small (three-, four-, and five-membered) rings, most of which are found for the first time in essential oils. These products were isolated by chemical group separation, liquid and gas chromatography, whereupon the structures were determined by mass, infrared and NMR spectroscopy. All structures were confirmed by synthesis. The essential oils used were obtained from regular commercial sources.
