A new alkyl phenol from Schinopsis brasiliensis

Phytochemical investigation of the trunk of Schinopsis brasiliensis afforded a new alkyl phenol, methyl 6-eicosanyl-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate, besides an unusual steroid 5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3-β-ol. The compounds were characterised by spectroscopy data analysis.
