"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

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.

Antibody2: unfortunately no, but i've send the pdf of this
paper over to rhodium.

together with:

and

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


> Beilschmiedia miersii is a threatened tree.

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 Post 317862 (3base: "MMDA-2 precursor from pepper", Novel Discourse) (MMDA-2 precursor from pepper)
