Abstract: | Eleven chemical constituents were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the aerial part of Rosa laevigata Michx. These compounds include the Henze's ketol (16), diethyl malate (17), three γ-lactones (18-20), loliolide (21), p-coumaric acid (22), 6,7-dimethoxycoumarin (23) and three flavonoids (24-26). The new compounds 19 and 20 were determined to be the cis- and trans-isomers of ethyl 2-benzyl-3-hydroxy-5-oxo-3-furancarboxylate. |
