Abstract

The bark of Acer barbinerve was extracted with 70% aqueous acetone and the organic extracts were concentrated to small volume using rotary evaporator and then fractionated successively with n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and water. The chromatographic separation of ethyl acetate soluble fraction led to the isolation of five phenolic compounds. By means of spectroscopic method, the structures of these compounds were identified to methyl gallate (1), methyl gallate-4-O-${\beta}$-D-glucose (2), (+)-catechin (3), (-)-epicatechin (4) and (-)-epicatechin-3-O-gallate (5). These compounds (1-5) have not been reported in this plant yet.
