Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of the triterpenoid piscidinol-C from the leaves of Walsura piscidia is determined. The compound, which is an apotirucallane derivative, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group C2221 with a = 18.985(4), b = 13.092(5), c = 24.690(7) Å, and D calc = 1.209 g cm−1 for Z = 8.
