Balsoxin (25), isolated from Amyris balsamifera (16) cooccurs with the closely related amide balsamide (40), M-2-hydroxy-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylbenza-mide. Balsamide (40), on oxidation followed by treatment with phosphorus oxychloride yielded balsoxin (25) (16). [Pg.265]

Amyris Oil, West Indian Type, occurs as a clear, pale yellow, viscous liquid having a distinct odor suggestive of sandalwood. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the wood of Amyris balsamifera L. (Fam. Rutaceae). It is soluble in most fixed oils and usually in mineral oil. It is soluble in an equal volume of propylene glycol, the solution often becoming opalescent on further dilution. It is practically insoluble in glycerin. [Pg.30]

This class of compounds may be found in essential oils extracted with both polar solvents and non-polar solvents. The structure of a sesquiterpene alcohol, newly isolated from the oil extracted from the wood of Amyris balsamifera (Rutaceae), has been reported [76]. These investigators either identified by GC-MS or isolated a total of 23 sesquiterpenoids, including valerianol (23) (21.5% of oil), 1-epi-a-eudesmol (24) (10.7%), 10-e/ i -y-eudesmol (25) (9.7%), elemol (26) (9.1%), P-eudesmol (27) (7.9%), y-eudesmol (28) (6.6%), a-eudesmol (29) (4.8%) and P-sesquiphellandrene (30) (4.7%) as the major constituents. 7-...
