Microwave and ultrasound assisted first synthesis of 12-hydroxyhentriacontane

摘要

An aliphatic alcohol 12-hydroxyhentriacontane has been synthesised for the first time. The synthetic route of this naturally occurring alcohol adopts the techniques of microwave and ultrasonic irradiation. The synthetic approach provided enough material to corroborate the structure of the target molecule which had been isolated from leaves of Ziziphus mauritiana and exhibits excellent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
