title: Two new phenylpropanoids and one propanoate from Morinda citrifolia.
abstract: Two new phenylpropanoids, methyl 3-(2,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)propionate (1) and butyl 3-(2,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)propionate (2), and one unusual propanoate, 5-hydroxyhexyl 2-hydroxypropanoate (3), were isolated from the fruits of Morinda citrifolia. Their structures were established using MS and NMR methods.
