| Abstract: | From the stems of Schisandra rubriflora, two novel partially saturated dibenzocyclooctene lignans, named rubriflorin A ( 1 ) and B ( 6 ), as well as the seven known partially saturated dibenzocyclooctene lignans kadsumarin A ( 2 ), kadsurin ( 3 ), heteroclitin B ( 4 ), heteroclitin C ( 5 ), heteroclitin D ( 7 ), interiorin ( 8 ), and interiorin B ( 9 ) were isolated. The structures of the new compounds 1 and 6 were established on the basis of spectral analysis as (5R,6S,7R,8R,13aS)‐8‐(acetyloxy)‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydro‐1,2,3,13‐tetramethoxy‐6,7‐dimethylbenz(3,4]cycloocta1,2‐f]1,3]benzodioxol‐5‐yl (2Z)‐2‐methylbut‐2‐enoate and (6R,7R,12aS)‐7,8‐dihydro‐12‐hydroxy‐1,2,3,10,11‐pentamethoxy‐6,7‐dimethyl‐6H‐dibenzoa,c]cycloocten‐5‐one, respectively. |
