| Abstract: | Two new bis‐coumarins, namely daphnogitin ( 1 ), daphnogirin ( 2 ), and a flavan‐3‐ol derivative, 5‐O‐methylafzelechin ( 3 ), together with eleven known compounds, daphnetoxin, 1,2‐dihydrodaphnetoxin, daphnetin, daphnoretin, daphneticin, isodaphneticin, trans‐2,3‐dihydro‐3‐(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl)‐2‐(hydroxymethyl)‐9H‐pyrano[2,3‐f]‐1,4‐benzodioxin‐9‐one (= demethoxyisodaphneticin; 4b ), (+)‐pinoresinol, acuminatin, (−)‐dihydrosesamin, and isosalicifoline, were isolated from the leaves and stems of Daphne giraldii. Compound 4b was isolated for the first time as a natural product, and 1,2‐dihydrodaphnetoxin, daphneticin, isodaphneticin, (+)‐pinoresinol, acuminatin, (−)‐dihydrosesamin, and isosalicifoline were isolated for the first time from Daphne giraldii. The structures of the three new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. |
