STUDIES ON THE CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF AQUILARIA SlNENSIS (LOUR.) GILG. Ⅲ. ELUCIDATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF ISOBAIMUXINOL AND ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE CONSTITUENTS OF LOWER BOILING FRACTION oF THE VOLATILE OIL

Abstract
A new sesquiterpenoid, named isobaimuxinol, C15H26O2, mp 73~75℃, αD12—68° (c0.10, CHC13), was isolated from the volatile oil of Aquilaria sinensis (Lout.) Gilg. (Thymeleaceae). Based on. spectral (IR,1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and 2D-NMR as well as MS) analysis its structute was identified as isobaimuxinol The relative stereochemistry of isobaimuxinol was determined by X-ray crystallograhy.In addition, four known compounds, benzylacetone, p-methoxybenzylacetone, anisic acid and β-agarofuran were isolated and identified from the lower boiling fraction of the volatile oil of this plant. These compounds were obtained for the first time from this plant.
