Abstract
Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of the flowers of Duranta erecta L. has led to the isolation of oleanolic acid (1), a mixture of α-amyrin (2a) and β-amyrin (2b) in a 3:1 ratio, phytyl fatty acid esters (3), and triacylglycerols (4), The structures of 1-4b were identified by comparison of their NMR data with literature data.
