Phenolic constituents of Persoonia elliptica (Proteaceae)

Abstract

5-n-Undecylresorcinol (1) and persoonol, which has been shown to be (2)-5-undec-3-enylresorcinol (3), have been isolated from a vesicant extracted from the wood of Persoonia elliptica R. Br.     The structure of persoonol (3) has been confirmed by synthesis of its dimethyl ether (4).
