Quercetin and Kaempferol 3- O -[α- l -Rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α- l -arabinopyranoside]-7- O -α- l -rhamnopyranosides from Anthyllis hermanniae : Structure Determination and Conformational Studies

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The study reports the isolation and structural identification of two new flavonol triglycosides from the methanolic extract of Anthyllis hermanniae, exhibiting the same glycosylation pattern: quercetin 3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranoside]-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (1) and kaempferol 3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranoside]-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (2). A conformational study related to the central arabinoside moiety was carried out including the analysis of the contribution of NOE effects and acetylation to the elucidation of the 2-O-linked arabinoside configuration of the anomeric carbon. We also report the total synthesis of a model compound, quercetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranoside (3), which verifies the structures of the isolated compounds.
