BAIMUXIFURANIC ACID,A NEW SESQUITERPENE FROM THE VOLATILE OIL OF AQUILARIA SINENSIS(LOUR.)GILG.

摘要

A new sesquiterpenoid,named baimuxifuranic acid,has been isolatedfrom the volatile oil of Aquilaria sinensis（Lour.）Gilg.belonging to the familyThymelaceae by silica gel column chromatography.Based on spectral analysis itsstructure was deduced as（1）.Reduction of baimuxifuranic acid by LiAlH₄ gave
