Structural elucidation of a new group of secostictane triterpenoids
Abstract
By a combination of spectroscopic and chromatographic procedures it was established that three new triterpenoids isolated from the extractives of the lichen Pseudocyphellaria degelii possessed the novel 3,22-disubstituted 3,4-secostict-4(23)-ene structures (2a), (2e), and (2h) respectively.
