Abstract
Dihydrotaxol (1) and two dibenzoylated rearranged taxanes (2) and (3) have been isolated from the bark of Taxus wallichiana, collected from Arunachal Pradesh. This is the first report of isolation of these taxo ids from the Himalayan yew. The occurrence of these taxoids implies th at Taxus wallichiana can be a good source of structurally unique and b iologically active taxol analogues.
