Abstract

Tanacetum gracile, an alpine desert aromatic herb collected from Ladakh Himalaya, on steam distillation yielded 0.46% (DWB) essential oil having a characteristic blue colour. The essential oil contained lavendulol (21.5%) as a major chemical constituent. The other compounds include lavandulyl acetate (1.7%), 1,8-cineole (15.2%), cis-β-ocimene (6.4%) borneol (6.1%) and chamazulene (3.7%). The major components were identified by 1HNMR, 13CNMR, GC-MS and GC retention data. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
