The authors have studied to elucidate the constituents of the volatile oil Saxifraga stolonifera Meerb.
The volatile oil was treated with 2
N-sodium carbonate, then with 2N-sodium hydroxide solution, and was separated into the three parts; neutral, sodium carbonatesoluble, and sodium hydroxide soluble part.
Each part was investigated by means of column chromatography, gas chromatography, infrared spectrum, mass spectrum, nuclearmagnetic resonance spectrum and chemical method.
As a result, forty eight kinds of compound were detected as the constituents of this volatile oil as follows leaf alcohol, α-pinene, camphene, 1, 4-cineole, limonene, linalool, borneol, citronellol, linalyl acetate, geraniol, bornyl acetate, α-terpinyl acetate, geranyl acetate, dodecanal, β-elemen, α-cedrene, calamenene,
