Two New Compounds from Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb

This article presents the isolation of two new compounds namely 2-(1-hydroxy-2methylpropyl)- 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methyl-1H-indole-4,7-diol (1) related to the class of indole alkaloid and propyl 4-(3, 4-dihydroxyhexyl) benzoate (2) related to the class of aromatic ester from the chloroform and petroleum ether fraction of Elaeagnus umbellata, respectively. The chemical structures of compounds 1 and 2 were determined by using the powerful tool of different spectroscopic techniques including MS, UV, IR and NMR spectral data. Furthermore, the structures were further supported by two dimensional NMR techniques like COSY-45 degrees, HMQC and HMBC.
