Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of Lycium chinense fruits led to isolation of a new pyrrole compound. The structure of this compound was confirmed as a 5-methoxymethyl-lH-pyrrole-2-carbaaldehyde, a new natural product, by interpretation of 1D ($^1H$, $^{13}C$) and 2D (HMQC, HMBC) spectroscopic data along with HRMS and IR spectroscopic data.
