Abstract
By further chromatographic fractionation of the unsaponifiable matter from an extract of peat moss (Sphagnum) three crystalline triterpenes have been isolated. They have been identified as a-amyrin, taraxerone, and taraxerol by their physical and chemical properties.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
