Homoisoflavone contains 16 carbon atoms in the skeleton. The homoisoflavonoid skeleton from natural products can be roughly divided into 13 kinds, among which 5 kinds of common skeletons contain a large amount of compounds and 8 kinds of abnormal skeletons comprise a small amount of compounds. In this article, the structure identification experience of homoisoflavonoids found in Caesalpinia mimosoides was used as references and an efficient 1H NMR spectroscopic method for identifying homoisoflavonoid structure has been established. Using the chemical shift differences of H-2, 3, 4 and 9, the common natural homoisoflavonoids can be quickly and conveniently determined.
