A novel amide, cinnabutamine (1), along with five known amides, cinnaretamine (2), N-trans-caffeoyl-5-hydroxytyramine (3), N-trans-feruloyltyramine (4), N-trans-feruloyl-5-methoxytyramine (5) and N-cis-feruloyl-5-methoxytyramine (6), were isolated from the stems of Cinnamomum burmannii (Lauraceae). Their structures were characterized and identified by spectral analysis.
