title: Chemistry of Zataria multiflora (Lamiaceae).
abstract: The hexane soluble part of Zataria multiflora afforded three new aromatic constituents which include two p-cymene derivatives: multiflotriol (1), multiflorol (2) and an aromatic ester of p-hydroxy benzoic acid (3). In addition to these three new compounds, three known compounds, dihydroxyaromadendrane, luteolin and alpha-tocopherolquinone, have also been isolated for the first time from the same source. The structures of all the isolated constituents were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods including 2D-NMR techniques.
