Two new benzoquinone derivatives, bungeiquinone (1) and dihydrobungeiquinone (2), and two known derivatives, 3-hydroxyirisquinone (3) and 3-hydroxydihydroirisquinone (4), were isolated from the roots of Iris bungei. The structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic
A novel dimeric 1,4-benzoquinone and resorcinol derivative, Belamcandaquinone N (1), and two known compounds, 3-hydroxyirisquinone (2) and 5-[(Z)-10-heptadecenyl] resorcinol (3), were isolated from the seeds of Iris bungei Maxim. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and
