✦ Synopsis

The amount and the enantiomeric composition of linalol were determined in the essential oils of seven chemotypes of Ocimum basilicum L., in the oils of O. sanctum L., O. gratissimum L. and O. canum Sims. of Thai origin, and in commercial basil oils. The linalol isolated from cultivars of O. basilicum L., of various origins, and from commercial basil oils consisted of (R)(À)-linalol and was proved to be optically pure in most cases. In essential oils of O. sanctum L. and O. canum Sims., (S)()-linalol was the main enantiomer. Thus, the enantiomeric dierentiation of linalol may be helpful in interspeci®c taxonomy in the genus Ocimum.
