New Aliphatic Alcohols from Root Bark of Ricinus communis Linn.

Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the root bark of Ricinus communis Linn (Euphorbiaceae) furnished three new aliphatic alcohols and their structures have been elucidated as 24- phenyl tetracosan- 6-one-19-01-, n-tricos-10en- 1-01-3-one and 24-phenyl-n-tetracosan-10-one -19β-01 on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reaction.
