K.-W. Wang, C.-R. Sun, X.-J. Cao and Y.-J. Pan

Abstract: The title compound, C₃₀H₄₈O₂, is a triterpenoid which was isolated from the stalks of Celastrus hypoleucus (Oliv.) Warb. The molecule contains five six-membered rings adopting distorted boat, half-chair and chair conformations. The hydroxy groups serve as hydrogen-bond donors and the carbonyl groups as acceptors, forming molecular chains parallel to the b axis.
