Abstract:
Three diarylheptanoids were isolated from the
n-butanol fraction of
Zingiber officinale peel by MCI Gel CHP-20, Sephadex LH-20, ODS and semipreparative high performance liquid chromatography. Their structures were identified by MS and NMR spectroscopy techniques:(2

H-3,3'-bipyran-4,4'-diol (
1), (
E)-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)hept-4-en-3-one (

1 is a new compound, and compounds
2-
3 were obtained from
Zingiber officinale peel for the first time.
