Disulphides in the volatile oil of Ferula behboudiana Rech. f. & Esfand

A study on the volatile oil of Ferula behboudiana by gas chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry showed the presence of 27 compounds. Two disulphide derivatives, 1-sec-butyl-2-[(E)-3-(methylthio) prop-1-enyl] disulphane (1) and 1-sec-butyl-2-[(Z)-3-(methylthio)prop-1-enyl] disulphane (2) (59.4%), were isolated from the oil by thin layer chromatography and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. Glubolol (12.5%), α-pinene (8.8%), α-bisabolol (6.1%) and β-pinene (3.9%) were the other major compounds.
