Abstract
Vetiver essential oil was obtained from roots of Vetiveria zizanioides by hydrodistillation method. The unique feature of oil is the presence of antipodal terpenoids of which khusinol may be mentioned as representative. Khusinol, a white crystalline solid (m.p. 87 °C) isolated by column chromatography from vetiver oil was subjected to chemical transformations to afford khusinol oxides, cadina-4a,10b-diol and trans-calamenene derivatives. The structures of khusinol and its derivatives were elucidated using spectroscopic techniques.
