Abstract

Two triterpenoids: a lupane and an oleanane - 9(11), 12- diene acid; were isolated and identified as Lup-20(29)-en-3-ol (Lupenol) and 3-acetoxy -9(11),12-diene-28-carboxyllic acid from dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Daniellia oliveri. The structures were elucidated using NMR and MS experiments and compared with data for related compounds.
