Purification of dichloromethane extract from root barks and leaves of Synadenium glaucescens extracts through chromatographic techniques resulted into the isolation of two compounds, namely erythrinacinate C and 1-octacosanol. Chemical structures were established mainly using both one and two dimensional 1H and 13C NMR data and by comparison of the current NMR data with those from literature. Mass spectrophotometry data were used for confirmation through molecular ion peak. Both compounds are known to have been isolated from other plant species but are being reported from this plant species for the first time.
