Capillene (1-phenylhexa-2,4-diyne) was found to be the main constituent (35
.2%) of the essential oil of Santolina rosmarinifolia L. ssp. rosmarinifoli
a. The related ketone capillin (1-phenylhexa-2,4-diyn-1-one, 0.4%) was also
found. The reset of the oil was made up of monoterpenes (53.3%) and sesqui
terpenes (9.6%). The main monoterpenes were: beta-phellandrene (14.9%), myr
cene (13.1%), beta-pinene (7.8%) and sabinene (5.5%), while the principal s
esquiterpene was ar-curcumene (4.3%). Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons,
