Abstract

The essential oils of two narcissus varieties, Narcissus treuithian and Narcissus geranium, obtained by extraction of flowers followed by high vacuum distillation of the absolute, were analyzed by GC/MS. After separation in fractions, unknown compounds were isolated by preparative GLC and their structures established by NMR/IR spectroscopy. The synthesis of a number of new compounds, found for the first time in narcissus oil, is described. The two ...
