A new angular dihydropyranocoumarin, named qianhucoumarin I was isolat
ed from the root of Peucedanum praeruptorum. By spectral analysis and
chemical evidence, the structure was elucidated as (S)-acetoxy-4'(S)-t
igloyloxy-3'-4'-dihydroseselin, and the absolute configurations were e
stablished by chemical correlation with known compounds.
