Novel phenolic amide derivative from the bulbs of Lilium regale.

Abstract
A novel phenolic amide derivative, (.+-.)-N-(4-methylsuccinimido-n-butyl)-p-coumaramide, was isolated from the bulbs of Lilium regale. The structure was elucidated by extensive spectral studies and hydrolysis. 3,6''-O-Diferuloylsucrose, which has been detected in the anthers and bulbs of several plants of the Liliaceae, was also isolated and identified.
