Pongaglabol, a new hydroxyfuranoflavone, and aurantiamide acetate, a rarely occurring modified phenylalanine dipeptide, have been isolated together with 4 furanoflavones, karanjin, lancheolatin B, kanjone and pinnatin, a simple flavone, kanugin, a chromenoflavanone (-)-isolonchocarpin, two furanodiketones pongamol and ovalitenone, and β-sitosterol from the petrol and chloroform extracts of the flowers of Pongamia glabra. The structure of pongaglabol has been established as 5-hydroxyfurano(8,7-4″,5″)flavone on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence. © 1980.

Phytochemistry

Carbon‐13 resonance assignments of cerin acetate, 2α‐pyridine‐N‐oxyfriedelan‐3‐one, epi‐cerin and its acetate, 3α‐hydroxyfriedelan‐2‐one and its acetate, 3‐hydroxyfriedel‐3‐en‐2‐one and its acetate, friedelane‐3,7‐dione, 3β‐hydroxyfriedelan‐7‐one, canophyllol, friedelolactone and friedelolactone‐2α‐yl acetate, friedelane‐2α,3β‐diol and its diacetate, friedelane‐2β,3α‐diyl diacetate, pachysandiyl‐A diacetate and friedelane‐2β‐3β‐diyl diacetate have been made. The carbon signals of 3‐oxofriedelan‐29‐ol and its acetate, methyl 3‐oxofriedelan‐29‐oate, 3‐oxofriedelan‐30‐ol, maytenfoliol, maytensifolin‐A, maytensifolin‐B, pachysonol and pristimerin reported in the literature have also been considered for their specific resonance assignments. A few signal assignments of some friedelanes, viz. friedelan‐28‐ol, friedelan‐29‐ol, friedelan‐30‐ol, friedelan‐29‐al, 3‐oxofriedelane‐21α,26‐diol and zeylasterone, reported recently by others, are unusual and have been reviewed.

A new ester amide designated (-)-anabellamide was isolated along with 4′-hydroxydehydrokawain (2) and /3-sitosterol-/S-D-glucoside from the whole plant of Anaphalis subumbellata. (-)-AnabelIamide has been shown to be 1, the (5)-N-benzoylphenylalaninyl ester of (5)-N-benzoylphenylalanine on the basis of its spectrometric studies and its synthesis from (5)-(-)-phenylalanine. © 1983, American Chemical Society.

Isopongaglabol and 6-methoxyisopongaglabol, two new hydroxyfuranoflavones, together with two furanoflavones 5-methoxyfurano(8,7-4″,5″)flavone and 5-methoxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxyfurano(8,7-4″,5″)flavone, two simple flavones, desmethoxykanugin and fisetin tetramethyl ether, a chromenoflavanone, ovalichromene B, two triterpenes, cycloart-23-ene-3β,25-diol and friedelin, and β-sitosterol-β-d-glucoside were isolated from the petrol and CHCl3 extracts of the flowers of Pongamia glabra. The structures of isopongaglabol and 6-methoxyisopongaglabol have been established as 4′-hydroxyfurano(8,7-4″,5″)flavone and 4′-hydroxy-6-methoxyfurano(8,7-4″,5″)flavone, respectively, on the basis of the spectral evidence and they have been confirmed by synthesis. © 1982.
