Abstract

Abstract: Phytochemical investigations on the leaves of Dysoxylum malabaricum and Dysoxylum beddomei result in the isolation of a number of triterpenes. Acetylation and deacetylation studies on some of the representative triterpenes show appreciable rate enhancement and increase of yield in the presence of microwave radiation. Details of isolation of triterpenes, acetylation and deacetylation procedures and their results form the ...
