The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Artemisia schimperi have been examined by GC, 1HNMR and 13C-NMR and 18 components comprising 87.4% of the oil have been identified by GC using Kovat’s index and in some cases by comparison with standard samples. The oil contained as main components: p-cymene 19.6%, Artemisyl acetate, 12.7%, Geranial 10.5%, Artemisia alcohol 9.2%, and Limonene 6.6%. The oxygenated compounds constitute 63.6% of the oil. One compound was isolated and the structure was elucidated based on spectroscopic technique and by comparison of the data with the reported in the literature.enEssential oil of Artemisia SchimperiThesis
