Composition of the volatile compounds from Aniba canelilla (H. B. K.) Mez. extracted by CO2 in the supercritical state

(2-Nitroethyl)benzene: a major flower scent from the Japanese loquat Eriobotrya japonica [Rosales: Rosaceae]

“…T. armatus contains all three components. 10) As a result, the present identification of (2-nitroethyl)benzene (15) was the fifth example of a major distribution of nitro-derivatives as the natural products throughout the animal 9,10) and plant kingdoms, [6][7][8] other than nitrophenanthrene derivatives in plant and Lepidoptera 11) . 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde (p-anisaldehyde, 12, 27.19%), the second major component, is one of the common floral scents identified in Angraecum, Cypripedium, Fragaria, Hypecoum, Nymphaea, Ophrys, and Syringa, 12) and functions as a potent attractant to adults of the varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus vervasci, irrespective of sex.…”

“…All compounds, except for α-copaene (17), which was elucidated by the MS library, were identified by GC/MS using authentic compounds commercially available or prepared by syntheses. Most scent components were aromatics (1,4,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)18, and 19, total abundance 99.60%) with a small amount of terpenoids (2, 3, 5, 17, and 20, total abundance 0.40%). These results indicate that the flower scents of the Japanese loquat were mostly composed of aromatics.…”

“…5) A very high content has been reported in the following two plants: the Brazilian plant Aniba canelilla (H.B.K.) Mez (Lauraceae), 6) and the Nigerian spicy medicinal plant Dennettia tripetala G. Baker (Annonaceae). 7) Compound (15) is present in large quantities in the Brazilian plant-up to more than 70% of the essential oil from the bark and leaves.…”

“…7) Compound (15) is present in large quantities in the Brazilian plant-up to more than 70% of the essential oil from the bark and leaves. 6,8) The leaf oil of the Nigerian plant is composed of compound (15) (53.7%), methyl eugenol (22.8%), and linalool (15.7%), together with 45 other components (7.3%). 7) Two species of Japanese millipedes, Eucondylodesmus elegans Miyosi (Polydesmida: Doratodesmidae) and Thelodesmus armatus Miyosi (Polydesmida: Pyrgodesmidae), also possess nitro-derivatives as components of their defense secretion.…”

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF WOOD ESSENTIAL OIL OF Aniba cinnamomiflora C. K. Allen FROM VENEZUELAN ANDES

“…Aniba is an american genus in this family that includes shrubs or trees up to 25 m high (Marques, 2001). Several chemical components have been isolated in this genus, specially neolignans, stylpyrones, and flavones (Rossi et al, 2007), esters (Gottlieb & Kubitzki, 1981), phenylpropanoids (Vilegas et al, 1998), and sesquiterpenoids (Moreira et al, 2010).…”
