Abstract
A new compound named eucamalol and 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol were isolated as mosquito repellents from the essential oil of Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The structure of eucamalol was elucidated to be 3-formyl-6α-isopropyl-2-cyclohexen-1β-ol by 1 H NMR analysis and confirmed by synthesis. Both compounds exhibited potent repellent activities against Aedes aegypti
