Structures of three C32 triterpenoids from Neolitsea pulchella
Abstract
Three triterpenoids isolated from Neolitsea pulchella, have been proved by n.m.r. and mass spectral data, and chemical correlations with one another and with cycloneolitsin (3β-methoxy-24,24-dimethyl-9,19-cyclolanost-25-ene) to be 3β-methoxy-24,24-dimethyl-lanosta-9(11),25-diene (I), 24,24-dimethyl-lanosta-9(11),25-dien-3-one (II), and 24ξ-hydroxy-3β-methoxy-24,25-dimethyl-lanost-9(11)-ene (III).
