The composition of the redistillation residue of Scotch spearmint oil (type ‘midwest’, Mentha cardiaca Ger.) was investigated. In addition to a number of known sesquiterpene alcohols the new natural compounds β‐bourbonen‐13‐ol (1b) and endo ‐1‐bourbonanol (2a) were identified, as well as l,5‐epoxysalvial‐4(14)‐ene (4) and its exo configurated isomer 5.
