Lignans causing photodiscoloration of Tsuga heterophylla: 8-hydroxy-oxomatairesinol from sapwood.
A lignan, (8S,8'S,)-(+)-8-hydroxy-oxomatairesinol, has been isolated from the sapwood of Tsuga heterophylla (western hemlock, Pinaceae). The known lignans matairesinol, lariciresinol and secoisolariciresinol were also obtained. The structure of the compound was established by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Results of the light-irradiation test of the lignans from T. heterophylla are also reported.
