| Abstract: | Purification of the chloroform extract of the ripe fruits of N. latifolia (family: Rubiaceae) using a series of flash chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography led to the isolation of three fatty acid esters. Characterization and structural elucidation of the esters was based on the use of physical parameters (solubility, melting points), spectroscopic data (UV, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, GC-MS) and literature data. The fatty acid esters were identified as ethyl hexadecanoate; methyl, 14- methylpentadecanoate and methyl trans-9-octadecenoate. This is the first report of such esters from the ripe fruits of N. latifolia. |
