Abstract
The structure of epi-kokoondiol isolated from the outer root bark of Salacia reticulata var. β-diandra has been elucidated as 21α,26-dihydroxy-D:A-friedo-oleanan-3-one (1) by the application of 2D and NOE difference NMR spectroscopy. Reinvestigation of some KoKoona triterpenoids by NOE difference spectroscopy led to the revision of the structures of kokoondiol, kokoononol, kokzeylanol, kokoonol, and kokzeylanonol as 21β,26-dihydroxy-D:A-friedo-oleanan-3-one (2), 26-hydroxy-D:A-friedo-oleanane-3,21-dione (3), 6β,26-dihydroxy-D:A-friedo-oleanan-3-one (4) 26-hydroxy-D:A-friedo-oleanan-3-one (5), and 6β,26-dihydroxy-D:A-friedo-oleanane-3,21-dione (6), respectively.
