The barks of Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Fraxinus sieboldiana and Fraxinus mandshurica, ash trees grown in domestic, were collected, extracted with acetone-H$_2$O(7:3, v/v) and freeze dried to give some dark brown powder. A portion of the freeze dried powder was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 and a TSK 40F column using a series of aqueous methanol, ethanol and ethanol-hexane mixture as eluents Some spectrometric analyses such as NMR and FAB-MS including TLC were performed to identify the structures of the isolated compounds. The bark extractives contained a large amount of coumarin derivatives in addition to a small amount of ester compounds.
