Chemical Constituents of the Barks of Litsea rubescens

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

A phytochemical investigation of the ethanol extract from the barks of Litsea rubescens resulted in the isolation of three new compounds, 3α,7β-diacetyl-8β-methyloctahydro-4β-methyl formate (1), (–)-N-methoxycarbonylorientailine (3), and 9-O-[4-O-acetyl-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-Dglucopyranosyl]-3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (5), together with two known compounds, 3α,7β-dihydroxy-8β-methyloctahydro-4β-methyl formate (2) and (–)-orientailine (4). The structures of the three new compounds were elucidated on the basis of 1D, 2D NMR (COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY), and mass spectral analyses.
