Abstract
Two coumarins have been isolated from an ethanolic extract of the epigeal part ofHaplophyllum obtusifolium Lebed.: capensin (I) and the new coumarin obtusicin, C5H16O6, (II), mp 81–91°C (CH3OH). The acid hydrolysis of (I) and (II) leads to fraxetin. On the basis of the results of a study of acetylation products and the spectral characteristics (IR, UV, PMR, and mass spectra) it has been established that obtusicin has the structure of 8-hydroxy-7-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methyl-but-2′-enyloxy)-6-methoxycoumarin.
