Abstract
Two new compounds 1,3-O-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-furan-2-yl]methenyl-2-n-butyl-α-fructofuranoside (1) and n-butyl-3,4-dihydroxyl-5-hydroxymethyl-4-O-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-furan-2-yl]-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate (2) were isolated from the fruits of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim, and their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic methods.
