Viminalins A-O (1–15), a series of new [3+2] hybrids of acylphloroglucinols and α-phellandrene featured a 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran core were isolated from the fruits of Callistemon viminalis. Their structures were established on the basis of extensive analysis of NMR spectra, circular dichroism, and X-ray crystallography. An oxidative [3+2] cycloaddition between acylphloroglucinol and monoterpene was speculated as the key step in the biosynthetic pathway. Bioactivities screen indicated that compound 6 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity.
