STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION OF PENTACYCLIC TRITERPENES

This book focuses on the structure elucidation of pentacyclic triterpenes using to two essential techniques, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Mass Spectrometry. The Carbon-13 NMR data of most of the classes of pentacyclic triterpenes and their mass fragmentation pattern is provided and the characteristic 13C NMR signals and mass fragmentation peaks have also been described. Thus by comparing the data of an unknown pentacyclic triterpene with the data of the known pentacyclic triterpenes provided in this book may help to narrow down the search for the structure of the compound.
