Cinnamic acid, 4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, methyl ferulate, sinapic acid, methyl 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propanoate, 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methoxyphenol, vanillyl alcohol, 4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxyphenol, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid, 4-vinylphenol, 4-methylbenzaldehyde, N-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]acetamide, pinoresinol, syringaresinol, lariciresinol, 5,5'-dimethoxy-lariciresinol, threo-guaiacylglycerol-3-beta-4-syringaresinol ether and two new sesquilignans, namely, threo-guaiacylglycerol-alpha-O-methyl-beta-O-4-syringaresinol ether and threo-syringylglycerol-alpha-O-methyl-beta-O-4-syringaresinol ether, were isolated and identified as components of Chenopodium album. Constitutions were established on the basis of spectroscopic data, including two-dimensional NMR analyses.
