We have studied the epigeal part of E. lamprocarpa Prokh., family Euphorbiaeeae collected in the Syr'dar'ya region in the flowering period. The comminuted plant material was extracted with chloroform. The yield of extractive substances was 7.71%;, of them, the acetone-soluble fraction amounted to 5.88% and the acetone-insoluble fraction to 1.83%. The acetone-soluble fraction was treated with petroleum ether (bp 40-60 ° C) with heating. The fraction soluble in petroleum ether was passed through alumina. From the first fraction was isolated a hydrocarbon, octacosane [1], and from the second and third fractions triacontane [2]. Then the column was eluted successively with benzene, acetone, and methanol. The benzene fraction yielded an alcohol (hexacosanol [3]) and the acetone and methanol eluted triacontanol E4]. These substances were identified by mixed melting points and IR spectra with authentic samples. This is the first time these hydrocarbons and alcohols have been isolated from plants of the genus Euphorbia.
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.
