3,4-dihydroxy-3′-methoxystilbene, the first monomeric stilbene derivative from bryophytes

Abstract 3.4-Dihydroxy-3′-methoxystilbene, the first monomeric stilbene derivative to be discovered in bryophytes was isolated from the neotropic liverwort Marchesina bongardiana . Its structure has been elucidated on the basis of NMR spectral evidence and independent chemical synthesis of this hitherto unknown compound. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
