The phytochemical study of the rhizomes from Hedychium coronarium resulted in the isolation of benzoyl eugenol (1), along with the labdane diterpenes isocoronarin D (2) and ethoxy coronarin D (3), obtained as epimeric mixtures at C-14 and C-15, respectively. Structures were determined based on spectroscopic data, mainly 1D and 2D NMR.
