Phytochemical investigation of the chloroform extract of the rhizomes of Curcuma aromatica Salisb.

(Zingiberaceae) yielded three new phytoconstituents characterized as n-heneitriacontan- 14-one; n-pentatriacontan-5-one; 11a-cyclopentyl-n-decan-1-ol (curcumapentadecanol) along with the known compounds stigmasterol and n-nonacosan-1-ol.

The structures of these phytoconstituents have been elucidated on the basis of structural data analysis and chemical reactions.
