This invention discloses a process for producing 2,6-bis (4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo [3.3.0] octane, i.e. syringaresinol and stereo-isomers thereof, from plants which contain lignin with syringyl unit. The process comprises heating plant under pressure in hydrous condition, and then quickly discharging them therefrom into an environment at atmospheric pressure so as to explode into pieces and subjecting the fine pieces to extraction with organic solvent such as methanol and acetone or an alkaline solution such as sodium hydroxide and purification. Syringaresinols are useful like ginseng as a tonic. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A process for the production of 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo(3.
3.
0) octane, which comprises heating plants containing lignin with syringyl unit under pressure in an autoclave in a hydrous condition, quickly discharging the heated, pressurized plants into a receiver at atmospheric pressure, subjecting the discharged plants to extraction with an organic solvent or an alkaline solution and recovering the 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo(3.
3.
0) octane from the resulting extract.
2.
A production process of 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.
3.
0] octane as set forth in claim 1, which is characterized in that said plants are hardwoods or herbs.
3.
A production process of 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.
3.
0] octane as set forth in claim 2, which is characterized in that said plants are fruit skins of broad-leaf trees or seed crusts of herbs.
4.
A production process of 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.
3.
0] octane as set forth in claim 1, which is characterized in that said organic solvent is a solvent selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, an ether, a ketone, an ester, a chlorine-substituted hydrocarbon and an aromatic hydrocarbon.
5.
A production process of 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.
3.
0] octane as set forth in claim 1, which is characterized in that a saturated steam is used for heating said plant under pressure.
6.
A production process of 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.
3.
0] octane as set forth in claim 5, which is characterized in that a saturated steam of 10-40 kg/cm.
sup.
2 is used for heating said plant under pressure.
7.
A production process of 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.
3.
0] octane as set forth in claim 5, which is characterized in that a saturated steam of 20-30 kg/cm.
sup.
2 is used for heating said plants under pressure.
8.
The process of claim 1 wherein the plants contain at least 5% of Klason lignin and at least 10% of moisture prior to the heating step
