ABSTRACT: Volatile oil was isolated from the seed of Treculia africana (Moraceae) by solvent extraction and the chemical constituents were identified by means of GC and GC-MS. A total of twelve (12) components were characterized in the volatile oil. Constituents found inherent were methane; 2H-pyran-2-one, 6-[2-E-(3-107491000159-82-745nyl)ethenyl]-4-methoxy-; S-indacen-1(2H)-one, 3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-3,3,4,5,5,8-hexamethyl; 7H-Dinaphtho[2,3-b:2.3’-h]carbazole; 1,2-Bis[1-(2-hydroxye- thyl)-3,6-diazahomoadamantanty dene-9]hydrazine; 3-Nor-3,7-secodichotine,2,7-didehydro-2-deoxy-14-hydroxy-11-methoxy 25-oxo-, (14.alpha.)-; tirucallol; beta-sitosterol; 6-Acetyl-3-chloro-2,4-decanobenzoquinoline; Adenosine, N-(3-methyl-3-butenyl)-2’,3’,5’-tris-O-(trime-thylsilyl); Zirconium,dichloro-[dimethylbis-methyl-3H-benz[e]indenyl)silane]; Chromone, 7-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-phenyl.
