Five new cyclic organosulfur compounds, foliogarlic disulfanes A (), A (), and A () and foliogarlic trisulfane A () and A (), were isolated from the leaves of (garlic). The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical evidence including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS). Compounds - were obtained as complex compounds with disulfane or trisulfane and tetrahydro-2-difuro[3,2-:2',3'-]furan-5(5a)-one.
