Abstract: A common and native tree of Eastern and Southern Africa, Acacia xanthophloea is a species of tropical plants and a member of the Fabaceae family. Although A. xanthophloea is known as a source of tannins, very little is known about its phytochemistry. In this context, the main objective of this work was to isolate and characterize the structures of secondary metabolites found in the bark of this plant. Substantial amounts of bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate [DEHT/ dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP)] were isolated in a fraction of the bark extract while undertaking the isolation of phytochemicals from A. xanthophloea barks.
