Some volatile constituents of the unripe fruits of Nauclea latifolia (Family: Rubiaceae)

Fadipe Labake Ajoke, Haruna Kaita, Mohammed Ilyas and Pateh Umar Usman

Fractionation, separation and purification of the ethyl acetate extract of the unripe fruits of N. latifolia (family Rubiaceae) using series of flash chromatography led to the isolation of a fatty acid, (palmitic acid) and two fatty acid esters (ethyl palmitate and ethenyl pentadecanoate). Characterization and structural elucidation of these compounds was achieved using UV, IR, proton-NMR, carbon 13-NMR, GC-MS, melting points and literature search
Ethenyl pentadecanoate/ Pentadecanoic acid, ethenyl ester/ Pentadecanoic acid, vinyl ester/ Vinyl pentadecanoate (a fatty acid ester)
