Diocanol; one new phenol derivative isolated and characterized from Urtica dioica

Abstract

One new benzene derivative Diocanol(1) was isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble portion of the whole plant of Urtica dioica along with known constituents β-amyrin (2), β-sitosterol (3), stigmasterol (4), and oleanolic acid (5). The structures of the isolated compounds were characterized based on 1H and 13C NMR spectra, including two-dimensional NMR techniques like COSY, HMQC, and HMBC and compared with the literature data.
