Benzofurans from the seeds of Styrax obassia.

Journal Article

Publication Abstract

A new benzofuran, 5-(3"-propanoyloxypropyl)-7-methoxy-2-(3', 4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-benzofuran (1) along with four known compounds (2-5) were isolated from the seeds of S. obassia. Their structures were established on the basis of their various spectroscopic analysis including 1D and 2D NMR and by comparison of their spectral data with those of related compounds. Among the known compounds, the 13C NMR data of compound 5 is being reported here for the first time.
