The essential oil of the leaves of Eugenia uniflora L. (Myrtaceae) was investigated by GLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. Main constituents are furanodiene ( 27a ), and the hitherto unknown selina-1,3,7(11)-trien-8-one ( 36 ) and oxidoselina-1,3,7(11)-trien-8-one ( 41 ). The oil contains almost no monoterpenes, but several known sesquiterpenes. The characteristic odor of the oil is determined by the mushroom-like, woody, and spicy smelling furanodiene ( 27a ), and by the green and cucumber note of selinatrienone ( 36 ).
