Abstract
The isolation of six friedelane derivatives from the root-bark of Salacia prenoides, and the identification of four of them as friedel-1-en-3-one (II), friedelane-1,3-dione (V), 1,3-dioxofriedelan-24-al (VI), and 7α-hydroxy-friedelane-1,3-dione (VII) by chemical and spectroscopic means, is described.
