Extract of Naravelia zeylanica (Ranunculaceae) yielded three simple benzamides, 3,4-methylenedioxybenzamide, 4-methoxybenzamide and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzamide. These simple C6C1 metabolites have been encountered as natural products for the first time. The compounds were identified by direct comparison of their spectral (1H- and 13C-NMR)
