The essential oil of Tanacetum (syn. Chrysanthemum ) fruticulosum Ledeb. from Iran was investigated by GC, GC–MS and NMR spectroscopy. The oil is characterized by photo‐oxidation products of lavandulol and nerolidol. Ninety‐seven components, representing 93% of the oil, could be identified. The oil contains mainly monoterpenes [1,8‐cineole ( 8 ), camphor ( 12 ), lavandulol ( 13 ), lavandulyl acetate ( 25 )]. The new 5‐isopropenyl‐2,2‐dimethyltetrahydrofuran‐3‐yl‐methyl acetates ( 30, 31 ) are trace constituents. Some new farnesyl derivatives [3,6;6,9‐bisepoxyfarnesa‐1,7(14),10‐trienes ( 43, 44, 48, 49 ), 7,10‐epoxyfarnesa‐1,5,11‐trien‐3‐ols ( 63, 64 ), 6,9‐epoxyfarnesa‐1,7(14)10‐trien‐3‐ols ( 80–83 )] were identified by their NMR spectra.
