Structure of Anthriscusin, a New Phenylpropanoid Ester from the Roots of Anthriscus sylvestris HOFFM.

Abstract

A new phenylpropanoid ester, anthriscusin was isolated from the roots of Anthriscus sylvestris HOFFM. (Umbelliferae), and was elucidated as O-[(Z)-2-angeloyloxymethyl-2-butenoyl]-3-methoxy-4, 5-methylenedioxycinnamyl alcohol on the basis of the spectral data and the chemical evidence.
