Bohn, Irene published the artcileThe essential root oil of Pimpinella major, Synthetic Route of 13391-27-0, the main research area is Pimpinella root oil composition; sesquiterpene Pimpinella root oil.
The composition of essential oil of P. major roots from 2 different sources in Italy was analyzed and shown to contain trans-epoxypseudoisoeugenyl tiglate as the major constituent (37.34 and 19.54%) along with such minor constituents as pseudoisoeugenyl tiglate and epoxypseudoisoeugenyl 2-methylbutyrate. Other sesqui- and trinorsesquiterpenoids (C12 hydrocarbons) were present in appreciable amounts, while monoterpenoids were found only in traces. The typical oil composition enables the delimitation of this plant from several other European Pimpinella species and is a valuable tool for evaluating the com. drug Radix pimpinellae. The detection of germacrene C is significant because this is the 1st report of its occurrence in the oil of an umbelliferous plant.
