Permanganate oxidation of trachelogenin afforded methyl 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylacetate and a structurally unknown acid substance of m.p. 163°. From this and the formation of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3, 4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid by permanganate oxidation of acetyltrachelogenin, it was found that trachelogenin possesses 3, 4-dimethoxy- and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl ring as the parent structure, separated by one γ-lactone ring, one secondary alcoholic group, and one methoxyl, and is a kind of lignan-type substance.
