Abstract: Chemical investigation on the leaves and twigs of Litsea euosma W . W . Smith (Lauraceae ) led to the isolation of a new compound named a derivative of α-pyranone ( 1) together with three known compounds, a derivative of ferulic acidic ester (2) , 6- O-palmitoyl-β-sitosteryl-D-glucoside (3) and glucose ( 4) . The structure of the new compound is elucidated as 5-hydroxy-6-methyl-3 -( undec-10-enyl ) -5 , 6-dihydropyran-2-one based on its spectroscopic analysis .

Key words: Litsea euosma
