The composition of leaf and bark oils of Cinnamosma madagascariensis has been investigated by a combination of GC (RI), GC-MS and 13C NMR. The leaf oil contained mainly monoterpenes: myrcene (17.9%), limonene (17.8%), β-phellandrene (15.3%) and linalool (12.2%). The bark oil, investigated for the first time, contained β-pinene (49.9%) and α-pinene (19.5%) as major components. Special attention was paid to the identification of cyclocopacamphene, an epimer of cyclosativene. 13C NMR data of both compounds have been provided.
