Geranyl Phenyl Ethers from the New Zealand Liverwort Trichocolea hatcheri
Methyl 4-(geranyloxy)-3-hydroxybenzoate (6), previously unreported, has been identified from the New Zealand liverwort Trichocolea hatcheri. Four new related 3-hydroxybenzoates 7-10 were also found, with a carbonyl at C-5 of the geranyl group and various double bond arrangements. Two known geranyl phenyl ethers 1 and 3, found in other Trichocolea species, were also identified.
