[Chemical constituents from root bark of Dictamnus dasycarpus]
Objective:
To isolate and identify the chemical constituents from the root bark of Dictamnus dasycarpus.
Methods:
Silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, ODS and PTLC were employed for the isolation and purification of chemical constituents. The structures were identified on the basis of spectral data and physicochemical examination.
Results:
Thirteen compounds were isolated and identified as follows: rutaevin (1), obacunone (2), fraxinellone (3), limonin (4), dictamnine (5), beta-sitosterol (6), 5-hydroxylmethylfuraldehyde (7), daucosterol (8), 3beta-hydroxy-cholesta-5-ene (9), fraxinellonone (10), rutin (11), quercetin (12) and scopoletin (13).
Conclusion:
Compounds 7 and 9 are isolated from this genus for the first time.

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is...
