The structure of the compound was determined by spectral methods. This alicyclic polyalcohol was found to be D-pinitol (- 3-O-methyl-D-chiro-inositol; 1). The configuration of the compound was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The compound I is known from Soybean, Australian mangroves, Fagonia indica, A rachis hypogaea, etc., but we have isolated this compound for the first time from the aerial parts of A. nilotica. Very few references have been cited for compound I for its entomological activity, and there are no reports on mosquitoes. Therefore, the crude extracts of A. nilotica were tested for its biological activity against mosquito larvae. Acetone extract at 500-ppm concentration showed chronic toxicity against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus IVth instar mosquito larvae. Such a biological activity has been observed for the first time for this plant. This study could be a stepping stone to a solution for destroying larval species as well as consumption of such a widely grown, problem weed, A. nilotica. This larvicidal agent, since it is derived from plant, is eco-friendly, cost effective, non-hazardous to nontarget organisms and would be safe unlike commercially available insecticides.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;1.444&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaubal, Rohini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tambe, Amruta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biswas, Sujata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rojatkar, Supada</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deshpande, Vishnu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deshpande, Nirinala</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isolation of new straight chain compounds from acacia nilotica</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian Journal of Chemistry Section B-Organic Chemistry including Medicinal Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acacia nilotica</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">diester</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pentacosane dioic acid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">saponification</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAY</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NATL INST SCIENCE COMMUNICATION</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DR K S KRISHNAN MARG, NEW DELHI 110 012, INDIA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">45</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1231-1233</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A novel diester, pentacosane dioic acid dihexadecyl ester 1 has been isolated for the first time from n-hexane soxhlet extract of Acacia nilotica.

Saponification of pet-ether extract of Acacia nilotica has been carried out.
