Photooxygenation of a-terpinene 155 in the presence of eosin (equation 87) produces ascaridole 156, a constituent of the essential oil Chenopodium ambrosioides L 1. The ewrfo-peroxide 157 derived from cyclopentadiene is a crystalline solid, stable at —100 °C78 above this temperature it rearranges to a mixture of the bis-epoxide 158 and the epoxyaldehyde 159 (equation 88)79,80.

Names of varieties are applied in three different ways. Either the name of the species is given and followed by the prefix var. before the varietal name, as Chenopodium ambrosioides var. anthel-minticum-, or the varietal name may be appended to the name of the species, as Chenopodium ambrosioides anthelminticum] or the varietal name may be placed immediately after the name of the genus and the specific name dropped, as Chenopodium anthelminticum. 

Derivation Distilled from the seeds and leaves of Chenopodium ambrosioides anthelminticum. 

Chenopodium ambrosioides, Wormseed, Jerusalem oak. Stinking weed. 

Occurrence A. is the main component (45-70%) of oleum chenopodii ( oil of chenopodium, wormseed oil), an oil obtained by steam distillation of withered, fruit-bearing twigs of the fragrant goosefoot Chenopodium ambrosioides, Chenopodiaceae). 

Oil of Chenopodium (wormseed oil). Essential oil obtained from Chenopodium ambrosioides var. anthel-minticum (goosefoot), previously used in humans and animals against worm parasites (eelworms and hookworms). O. C. is no longer used in human medicine on account of its side effects. O.C. contains mainly ascaridole (60-75%), ascaridole glycol, p-cymol (20-30%, see cymenes), a-terpinene, limo-nene.

Ascaridol presents a peroxide structure and displays anthelmintic activity and some toxicity to mammals. It is found in Chenopodium ambrosioides and some Achillea and Artemisia species. 

Ascaridol contains a 1,4-peroxide bridge. It is the main constituent of the volatile oil of American wormseed (Chenopodium ambrosioides var. anthelminticum, Chenopodiaceae). It has anthelmintic properties but is also toxic to mammals. Ascaridol can also be found in chemotypes of some Achillea species.
