Abstract:
A new benzofuran-type neolignan (1), two new phenylpropanoids (2 - 3), and one new C21 steroid (4) were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the roots of Dolomiaea souliei by chromatographic methods, including silica gel, ODS column chromatography, MPLC, and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified as dolosougenin A (1), (S)-3-isopropylpentyl (E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) acrylate (2), (S)-3-isopropylpentyl (Z)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) acrylate (3) and dolosoucin A (4) through various spectroscopic techniques including 1D NMR, 2D NMR, IR, UV, HR ESI MS, ORD, and computational ORD methods.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
