The Occurrence of Some Novel Diesters in Roman Camomile Oil

Abstract

Abstract Three diols, 2‐methylidene‐1,3‐propanediol, 2‐methyl‐1,3‐propanediol and 1,3‐butanediol, esterified on one hydroxyl group with isobutyric acid and on the other with angelic acid 1 ), have been isolated from Anthemis nobilis oil (Roman camomile) and synthesized. The presence of homologous esters is very probable.
