Investigation of leaves from the shrub Rapanea myricoides led to the isolation of two diprenylated benzoic acids. One was the known compound 5- carboxy-7-(3'',3''-dimethylallyl)-2-(1'-hydroxy-1',5'-dimethylhex-4'-enyl)- 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (1), while the other was assigned as the new diol 2 (3- (2',3'-dihydroxy-3',7'-dimethyloct-6'-enyl)-4-hydroxy-5-(3'',3''- dimethylallyl)benzoic acid, myricoidiol). These compounds were initially characterized through analysis of their spectroscopic data and comparison with some simpler synthetic analogues led to the final structure assignment for diol 2.
