Молукканин

Description

Moluccanin is a natural coumarinolignan isolated from the bark, leaves and seeds of Aleurites moluccanus (candle tree, moluccan tung). Structurally, it is 2,3-dihydro-3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-7H-pyrano[2,3-g]-1,4-benzodioxin-7-one in the trans configuration: the coumarin core is fused with a 1,4-benzodioxane fragment bearing a syringyl substituent. This structure combines the characteristics of coumarins and lignans, so the substance is classified as a hybrid class of coumarinolignans. Supplied as a reference standard for phytochemical work.
