Abstract
A system composed by several routines written in FOXBASIC was developed
to be used as a help to structural determination of triterpenes. A
database of 1,000 triterpenes belonging to different backbones was
built. The fields contain the chemical shift of each carbon in the
molecule and a 10 digit hexadecimal code that characterizes the carbon
environment. The code with the general formula: (C) under bar.alpha(1)
alpha(2) alpha(3) alpha(4). A(1) A(1)E.beta(1) beta(2), where (C) under
bar designates the nature of the carbon responsible for the chemical
shift and the other symbols represent its chemical environment. This
system showed to be useful in structure determination of known and
unknown triterpenes.
