The composition of the essential oils of Nepeta ispahanica Boiss. and N. binaludensis Jamzad was investigated by means of GC, GC–MS and 1 H‐NMR spectra of the main compounds. 1,8‐Cineole was the most abundant component in both oils: Nepeta ispahanica (66%) and N. binaludensis (42%). However, nepetalactone (25%), linalol (4%), α‐terpineol (4%) and β‐pinene (3%) were major constituents of N. binaludensis . The structures of 1,8‐cineole, nepetalactones and β‐pinene were confirmed by their 1 H‐NMR spectra. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
