Studies on the Pungent Principle of Alpinia officinarum HANCE

Abstract
The presence of a new pungent principle in the root of A. officinarum Hance was revealed. The structure of this principle was elucidated as 5-hydroxy-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone [I] mainly by spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of I was established as (R)-form by the application of Horeau''s method.
