An aliphatic alcohol 12-hydroxyhentriacontane has been synthesised for the first time. The synthetic route of this naturally occurring alcohol adopts the techniques of microwave and ultrasonic irradiation. The synthetic approach provided enough material to corroborate the structure of the target molecule which had been isolated from leaves of Ziziphus mauritiana and exhibits excellent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
