Nineteen compounds were isolated from the CHCl 3 soluble portion of the heartwood of Eucalyptus citriodora . These compounds included trans ‐calamenene (1), T‐muurolol (2), α‐cadinol (3), 2β‐hydroxy‐α‐cadinol (4), 4‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethoxybenzaldehyde (5), 4‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethoxybenzoic acid (6), linoleic acid (7), squalene (8), α‐tocopherol (9), erythrodiol (10), morolic acid (11), betulonic acid (12), cycloeucalenol (13), cycloeucalenol vernolitate (14), β‐sitosterol (15), β‐sitosteryl‐β‐D‐glucopyranoside (16), β‐sitostenone (17), yangambin (18), sesamin (19). Among them, 14 is a new compound. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence.
