Abstract
As a part of our systematic study on Castanopsis genus (Fagaceae), one new triterpene hydrolysable tannin (1) and two new phenol glucosides (2 and 3) were isolated from the leaves of Castanopsis eyrei (Champ. ex Benth.) Hutch. Compound 1 was identified as a triterpene hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) ester. This type of compounds has only been isolated from Castanopsis genus. The structures of 1-3 were elucidated by the combination of spectroscopic analysis (MS, 1 D and 2 D NMR) and chemical evidence.
