Three new isoflavanones, named (3 R)-5,7,2',3'-tetrahydroxy-4'-methoxy-5'-p
renylisoflavanone, (3R)-7,2',3'-trihydroxy-4'-methoxy-5'-prenylisoflavone a
nd (3S)-3,7,2',3'-tetrahydroxy-4'-methoxyny-5'-prenylisoflavanone were isol
ated from the stembark of Geoffroea decorticans. The structures were confir
med by means of spectral analysis including 2D-NMR techniques. (C) 1998 Els
