Synthesis and Characterization of Crude and Oil Extract of Paracress (Spillanthesacmella)

Syhthesis and characterization of crude and oil extract of Spillanthesacmella was carried out using petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol. The extraction of Spilanthesacmella oil and crude extract from powdered Spilanthesacmella plant using petroleum ether gave 1.2406 g, chloroform gave 0.6412 g and methanol gave 8.4231 g. 5.049 g of Spilanthesacmella oil was gotten and 2.4341 g of potassium chloride was collected from the oil. The result showed the presence of amine, alkene, ketone/aldehyde, carbonyl and ester at different frequencies which is in line with other works done. Deca-6, 8 dinyoic acid isobutylamide was isolated using IR, 1HNMR and 13C-NMR spectra.
