Benzofurans and sterol from the seeds of styrax obassia

초록

Two benzofurans (1, 2) along with five known compounds (3.7) were isolated from the seeds of S. obassia. Their structures were elucidated as methyl 3-[7-methoxy-2-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-5-benzofuranyl]-propionate (1), methyl 3-[2-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-5-benzofuranyl]-propionate (2), egonol (3), egonolacetate (4), egonol-2-methylbutanoate (5), 7-demethoxyegonol-2-methylbutanoate (6), and stigmasterol (7) on the basis of their comprehensive spectroscopic analysis including 2D NMR data. Compounds 1, 2 are obtained for the first time from nature, while this is the first record of compound 7 from the Styrax species.
