- Natural Product Communications, 9(1), p.129-132, 2014 .
Croton kimosorum Leandri is an endemic species to Madagascar. The chemical composition of aerial parts, leaf and stem oils is reported for the first time. Analysis was carried out by combination of chromatographic (CC, GC), spectroscopic and spectrometric (MS, 13C NMR)techniques. In total, 76 compounds have been identified. Essential oil isolated from aerial parts contained mainly linalool (21.6 percent), sabinene (10.4 percent), 1,8-cineole (6.3 percent), ?-pinene (6.2 percent), (E)-?-caryophyllene (5.9 percent), terpinen-4-ol (4.8 percent), geraniol (4,5 percent)and germacrene D (2.3 percent). In comparison with the first sample, thecomposition of leaf and stem oils varied slightly, while essential oil isolated by vapor distillation from a semi-industrial still exhibited similar composition.
