ABSTRACT
Investigation of the highly polar chemical constituents in the stem of Hopea parviflora (Dipterocarpaceae) resulted in the isolation of four new resveratrol derivatives, hopeasides A and B (1, 2) (resveratrol pentamers), C (3) (resveratrol trimer), and D (4) (resveratrol dimer) together with nine known resveratrol oligomers (5-13). The new structures have a common partial structure of the 1-hydroxy-1-(3,5-dihydroxy-2-C-glucopyranosylphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane-2-yl group after oxidative condensation of (E)-resveratrol-10-C-ß-glucopyranoside (14). The structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis including 2D-NMR and computer-aided molecular modeling. The biogenetic relationship of the isolates and NMR characteristics caused by steric hindrance are also discussed in this paper.

Comprehensive re-investigation of the chemical constituents in the leaves of Vateria indica (Dipterocarpaceae) resulted in the isolation of a novel resveratrol dimeric dimer having a C(2)-symmetric structure, vateriaphenol F (1), and two new O-glucosides of resveratrol oligomers, vateriosides A (2) (resveratrol dimer) and B (4) (resveratrol tetramer), along with a new natural compound (3) and 33 known compounds including 26 resveratrol derivatives. The absolute structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, including two dimensional NMR and circular dichroism (CD) spectra.
