Abstract
AbstractBoth essential oils and solvent extracts of leaves, stems and fruits of Monanthotaxis capea were studied by GC and GC‐MS. The main constituents identified in the different organs studied were phenylbutane derivatives in range of 97–57%. While (E)‐4‐phenylbut‐3‐en‐2‐ol was shown as the main component of the hydrodistillates, the parent ester (E)‐4‐phenylbut‐3‐en‐2‐yl acetate was shown as the major compound of the solvent extracts. Thus some of the phenylbutane derivatives in the hydrodistillates of the aerial parts of Monanthotaxis capea would appear to be artifacts. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
