TL;DR
Three new pterocarpans, erystagallins A–C, were isolated from the wood of Erythrina cristagalli and their structures were elucidated on the basis of the spectroscopic evidence.
Abstract
Three new pterocarpans, erystagallins A–C, were isolated from the wood of Erythrina cristagalli, together with the three known pterocarpans, cristacarpin, phaseollidin and 2-(γ,γ-dimethylallyl)-6a-hydroxyphaseollidin. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of the spectroscopic evidence.

Cristacarpin, a new phytoalexin from Erythrina crista-galli is assigned the structure (−)-3,6a-dihydroxy-9-methoxy-10-γ,γ-dimethylallyl- cis -pterocarpan, and chirality assignments are made for a number of previously unassigned compounds.
