Although the monoterpene and sesquiterpenes represent a diverse and important group of chemical compounds, they are of less interest to us since these compounds are relatively stable in a biological environment and do not undergo chemical reactions involving oxidative chemistry, our primary interest. Two chemical components found in basil that are of partiular interest are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_eugenol methyl eugenol] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estragole methyl chavicol].
