Phytochemical research of different polarity extracts from green Juglans regia L. pericarps from Greece afforded 32 compounds: four pentacyclic triterpenes ( 1 – 4 ), three sesquiterpenes ( 5 – 7 ), four tetralones ( 8 – 11 ), two naphthoquinones ( 12 and 13 ), seven phenolic acids ( 14 – 20 ), one diarylheptanoid ( 21 ), one neo‐lignan ( 22 ), seven flavonoids ( 23 – 29 ), two phenylethanoids ( 30 and 31 ) and one hydrolysed tannin ( 32 ). Compounds 4 and 29 are isolated for the first time from the species, while compounds 3 , 7 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 30 are reported for the first time in Juglandaceae. Chemotaxonomic significance of isolated compounds into Junglandaceae family is thoroughly discussed.
