title: Bowdenol, a new 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran constituent from Bowdichia virgilioides.
abstract: From the stem bark of Bowdichia virgilioides, lupeol, lupeol acetate, sitosterol, stigmasterol and methyl-3-[2-(1-hydroxymethylvinyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan-5-yl]-(E)-2-propenoate have been isolated. The latter is a new compound and it has been named as bowdenol. Their structures were elucidated with the aid of spectroscopic techniques, mostly 1 and 2D NMR. The biogenetic pathway for bowdenol has been suggested.
