Calpocalyx dinklagei Harms (Fabaceae) is a tropical medicinal tree, which is indigenous to Western Africa. A phytochemical study of this local plant species from its stem bark has led to the isolation of two previously undescribed aryl benzofuran derivatives, named dinklagein A and B, together with eight known compounds. Their chemical structures were elucidated by use of extensive spectroscopic methods (IR, HREI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR).
