Abstract

The essential oil of leaves and twigs of Juniperus recurva var. squamata (Cupressaceae) was investigated by GLC, MS, and NMR spectroscopy. Main constituents were monoterpene hydrocarbons (68%); in addition, about 12% of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, 9% of oxygenated sesquiterpenes, and 5% of oxygenated monoterpenes were identified. 4β-Hydroxygermacra-1(10),5-diene (28), β-oplopenone (29a), oplopanone (34), 8-acetoxy elemol (35), and manool (36) were found as trace components.
