New stilbene derivatives designated lehmbachols A-D were isolated from
the bark of Salacia lehmbachii, collected in Papua New Guinea. Their
structures were established from spectroscopic evidence as hydroxyphen
yl)-4,6-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene and its diastereoisomer, hydro
xyphenyl)-4,6-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene and oxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)
-2,3,9,10-tetrahydro-8H-indeno [1,2-c] furan, respectively. Copyright
