"The Structure of Sarisan, an Isomer of Myristicin, Isolated
from the Leaf Oil of Beilschmiedia miersii"

abstract:
=========
The structure of the principal component in the leaf oil from
Beilschmiedia miersii, an avocado relative from Chile, has been
deduced to be 1-allyl-2-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxy benzene
... named sarisan.

Beilschmiedia miersii is a threatened tree. Why not just get tasty oils from already abounding plants. Nice article thought, it's always nice to see another natural precursor.

there should be eneugh material for a MMDA-2 section
on rhodiums site, suppositional rhodium is also interessted and
has time.

important fining, carboxyl !

wouldn't it be nice if there would be some bees around
growing and maintaining some scions of beilschmiedia miersii
in the home-garden and helping this way to to prevent this
plant from dying out.

sure, potentially pepper
