(gcide) | eucalyptol \eu`ca*lyp*tol\, n. [eucalyptus + L. oleum oil.]
(Chem.)
A volatile, terpenelike oil (C10H18O), which is the main
constituent of the oil of eucalyptus. It has cockroach
repellent activity and is used as a flavoring aid in
pharmaceuticals. Chemically it is
1,3,3-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo-[2,2,2]-octane. --MI11
Syn: cineole, cajeputol. [1913 Webster +PJC]
Note: In the 1913 Webster eucalytpol was defined as an oil
"consisting largely of cymene". Cymene
(isopropyltoluene, C10H14) differs from that of the
substance currently called eucalyptol, in having an
unsaturated ring and no oxygen. Para-cymene does occur
in eucalyptus oil as well as some other essential oils.

yields a refreshing drink from wounds made in the bark
