A new guaiacylglycerol ether, threo-guaiacylglycerol-8'-vanillic acid
ether, pyrocatechuic acid, pyrocatechuic acid 3-O-beta-D-glucoside, ge
ntisic acid, gentisic acid 5-O-beta-D-glucoside, vanillic acid and van
illic acid 4-O-beta-D-glucoside were identified from fruits of Boreava
orientalis. Structural elucidation was carried out on the basis of UV
, mass, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectral data, including 2D shift-correlation
and selective INEPT experiments.
