1041-1044 A new coumarin diol has been isolated along with three known coumarin compounds, 6,8-diprenylumbelliferone, bergapten and isopimpinellin from the chloroform fraction of the leaves of the plant, Chloroxylon swietenia DC. The structure of new compound has been established as 6-(2′,3′-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-8-prenylumbelliferone based on the spectral (UV, IR, 1H, 13C and 2D NMR and mass) data. </smarttagtype
