The saponification removes the methyl and phytol ester groups and may partially cleave the cyclopentenyl ring. |

The arrangement of isoprene units in phytol is identical with that in vitamin A, a monocyclic diterpene derivative, and is typical of the head-to-tail arrangement of isoprene units found in most terpenes. |

Chemically the absolute contains benzyl acetate, benzyl benzoate, phytol and cis-jasmone. |
