Objective:To investigate the chemical compositions of the leaves of Syringa oblata. Method: The separation was performed by using silica gel column chromatography
recrystallization and the HPLC preparation methods. The compound structures were identified according to the spectral analytical methods UV
IR
1H-NMR
13C-NMR
HSQC and HMBC. Result: The structures of the nine compounds were fully determined by the chemical and physicochemical evidences. They were (+)pinoresinol-4″-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(1). lariciresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2). (+)epipinoresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3). 3
4-dihydroxybenzene-Styrene glycol (6). 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol (7). 6-O-(E)-feruloyl-(α)-glucopyr-anoside (8). 6-O-(E)-feruloyl-(β)-glucopyranoside (9). Conclusion: All of the constituents are obtained in leaves of S. oblata; among them
compounds 1-6 are reported in this species for the first time.
