Isolation and Identification of Benzyl Hepta Methyl Docosahydropicene Carboxylic Acid from Erica Verticillata

Abstract

Phytochemical analysis of the CH₂Cl₂ fractions of Erica verticillata. has led to the isolation and identification of a new Benzyl hepta methyl docosahydropicene carboxylic acid. The structure elucidation of  compound was based on spectroscopy data IR, ¹H and ¹³C – NMR, DEPT (90,135), ¹H-¹HCOSY and HETCOR.

Keywords: Erica, docosahydropicene , hepta methyl
