summary(En) : | It has been found that treatment of nootkatin with 85% phosphoric acid for more than five minutes affords almost pure nootkatinol. In the previous paper, nootkatinol was isolated from the wood of Juniperus rigida SIEB. et ZUCC. by treating the acidic portions of the extracts with 85% phosphoric acid. Therefore, reinvestigation on the wood extractive to determine the presence of nootkatinol in situ was carried out. As a result, it has been found that nootkatinol is still present in the extracts. |
