Goniotriol from Goniathalamus giganteus

Abstract

The known styrylpyrone, goniotriol, has been isolated from Goniothalamus giganteus. Its bioactivities are reported, and its structure and relative stereochemistry have been determined by X-ray crystallography as 6R-(7R,8R-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxystyryl)-5S,6R-dihydro-5-hydroxy-2-p yrone.
