From the dried leaves of Alangium chinense, five novel phenolic glycosides,
6'-O-galloylsalicin (1); 4',6'-di-O-galloylsalicin (2); 4',6'-O-(S)-hexahy
droxydiphenoylsalicin (3); 4',6'-O-(R)-hexahydroxydiphenoylsalicin (4); and
pyrocatechol 1-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5) were
isolated. The structures of these new compounds were determined by spectro
scopic methods.
