Combined analysis of the essential oil of Chenopodium ambrosioides by GC, GC-MS and 13C-NMR spectroscopy: quantitative determination of ascaridole, a heat-sensitive compound

TL;DR: A commercial sample of the essential oil of Chenopodium ambrosioides L. from Madagascar was analysed by GC, GC-MS and 13C-NMR and the major constituents were found to be ascaridole, which undergoes a partial thermal isomerisation to 2 and hence the amount of 1 is under-estimated by GC analysis.
