Abstract:
Methanol extracts of the bark of six Stemonoporus species have been investigated. A new polyphenol, stemonoporol, has been isolated from four species. The polyphenols, copalliferol A and vaticaffinol are reported for the second time. Formic acid treatment converted stemonoporol to copalliferol A.
