Five new compounds, leptins D-H, along with one known chromene, methyl
evodionol, were isolated from the aerial parts of Evodia lepta. Their
structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and chemical tech
niques as ydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-6-acetyl-2,2-dimethylchroman, ethoxy-5,
7-dimethoxy-6-acetyl-2,2-dimethylchroman, butoxy-5,7-dimethoxy-6-acety
l-2,2-dimethylchroman, (trans)-3,4-dihydroxy-5,7,8 -trimethoxy-6-acety
l-2,2-dimethylchroman and 3-hydroxy-4-ethoxy-5,7, 8-trimethoxy-6-acety
l-2,2-dimethylchroman, respectively. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
