Notes:
The absolute oil of cassie (Acacia farnesiana WILLD.) has been thoroughly investigated by using several combined chromatographic techniques. Among the 38 new constituents which were thus identified in this oil, four deserve a particular mention, namely, the cis-3-methyldec-3-en-1-ol (I), the related acid III, the trans-3-methyl-dec-4-enoic acid (IV), and the homoterpene lactone dihydroactinidiolide (II). With the exception of the last one, these unusual C11 compounds play a prominent role in the characteristic fragrance of cassie oil.
