Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00575169

With the aid of column chromatography, the following compounds have been isolated from the roots of Ferula tschatcalensis M.Pimen. and identified: juniferin, ferocinin, xeroferol, and fexerin, and also the new sesquiterpene ester chatferin, C20H32O4, <α>_D²⁰ +6.2 deg (1.53; ethanol), n_D²⁰ 1.5136.On the basis of spectral characteristics and a transition to known substances, it has been established that chatferin has the structure of 2-tigloyl-7,8-epoxyjuniferol.
