Phenylpropanol derivatives from morina chinensis

Seven new phenylpropanol derivatives, named morinins A-G (1-7), along with five known compounds, 4-O-methylcinnamyl alcohol, 4-O-methylcinnamyl methyl ether, 4-O-methylcinnamyl acetate, p-methoxybenzaldehyde, and 4-O-methyl-(E)-coniferyl alcohol, have been isolated from the roots of the medicinal Chinese plant, Morina chinensis. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral data, especially 2D NMR and HRMS.
