Ethyl Acetate → Beta-D-Glucose

Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound (3), was obtained as a pale yellow crystalline mass from (ethyl acetate:methanol; 9:1) eluants. It responded to positive tests of flavonoid glycosides. Its IR spectrum showed characteristic absorption suggested that a flavanone was an aglycone moiety possessing one hydroxyl group in ring A and two methoxy groups in ring B. Further analysis indicated that (3) was an acyclic sesquiterpenic acid possessing three vinylic linkages at carbons C3″, C7″ (14″) and C-10″ was esterified with the sugar moiety. The 1H NMR spectrum of (3) exhibited the presence of aromatic carbons and sugar carbons. Acid hydrolysis of (3) yielded β-D-glucose as a glycone moiety (TLC comparable). On the basis spectral data analysis of (3), the structure has been established as 6″-(3′″,11′″-dimethyl-dodec-3′″,7′″(14′″) 10′″-trienyl glucopyranosyl-7-hydroxy-3′,4′-dimethoxyflavanone.
