Besides the Drimys winteri, drimenol (2) was also found in many other natural sources [3, 4]. For example, it has been isolated from some species of the plants of the Warburgia [9] and Porella [10] families, from Polygonum hydropiper [11], some liverworts [12], Ferula ceratophylla [13] and fungi [14].

The bark of Drimys Winteri yields between 5 and 1 per cent, of this oil. This plant was originally discovered by Captain Winter in the Straits of Magellan, and is now found in various countries from Mexico to Cape Horn. The oil, which has been examined by Avata and Can-.zoneri, has a specific gravity of about 945. It consists of a mixture of...
