Online published on 13 March, 2013. Abstract Hibiscus cannabinus Linn. of Malvaceae family is widely present in most parts of Africa and Deccan parts of India. This is cultivated as a fibre crop. Phytochemical investigation was carried out on the gynaceum part of the flower of this plant. Chromatographical techniques were employed to isolate compound from the ethyl acetate fraction of ethanolic extract of the gynaceum part of the flowers. Structure of the isolated compound was elucidated by spectroscopic methods like UV, 1H and 13CNMR. Top |
