Three new caffeic acid esters [3 beta,23-dihydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic
acid 3 beta-caffeate, 3 beta,23-dihrdroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid 23-c
affeate and 3 beta,23-dihydroxy-lup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid 3 beta-caffe
ate] of triterpene alcohols and another four known compounds of this t
ype were isolated from the outer bark of Betula pubescens. Complete as
signments of H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of these compounds are given.
