Abstract
Leaves (16 samples) and stem bark (four samples) of Xylopia villosa were collected in two forests of south-eastern Côte d’Ivoire. The chemical composition of essential oils was investigated by gas chromatography (GC; in combination with retention indices) and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Thirty-three compounds accounting for 85.9–95.9% of the oil have been identified. Xylopia villosa produces a monoterpene-rich essential oil, whose composition was dominated by sabinene or (Z)-β-ocimene, one or the other compound being the major component. One atypical leaf oil sample exhibited myrcene as major component.
