O-Galloyl-C-glycosylflavones from Pelargonium reniforme

Phytochemistry. 2002 Feb;59(4):419-24. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(01)00403-4.

Abstract

The unique series of C-2''-acylated C-glycosylflavones is extended by the discovery of the C-8-glucosyl derivatives 2''-O-galloylvitexin and 2''-O-galloylorientin and their C-6 analogues 2''-O-galloylisovitexin and 2''-O-galloylisoorientin, representing the first described O-galloyl-C-glycosylflavones. They are accompanied in the aerial parts of Pelargonium reniforme by the known non-galloylated parent analogues vitexin, orientin, isovitexin and isoorientin, as well as several known flavonoid-O-glycosides. The structures of these compounds were established from spectroscopic studies. Differentiation between C-glycosylation at C-6 and C-8 is discussed on the basis of the effects of dynamic rotational isomerism.
