Abstract:
2α-Hydroxy-oleanolic acid and 2α-hydroxy-ursolic acid were isolated from Eriobotrya japonica leaves by preparative reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The structure was confirmed by using UV, EI-MS, NMR and IR. The possitive ion fragmentation pathway was researched by electron ionization mass spectrometry and the stability of ion fragmentation was compared. 2α-Hydroxy-oleanolic acid and 2α-hydroxy-ursolic acid were discerned by comparing the abundance of m/z 248, 203 and 133.
