Ginkgo biloba leaves and their extracts are one of the most widely used herbal products and/or dietary supplements in the world. A systematic study of the phenolic compounds is necessary to establish quality parameters. A modified LC-DAD-ESI/MS method was used to obtain chromatographic profiles for the flavonoids and terpene lactones of Ginkgo biloba leaves. The method was used to identify 45 glycosylated flavonols and flavones, 3 flavonol aglycones, catechin, 10 biflavones, a dihydroxybenzoic acid, and 4 terpene lactones in an aqueous methanol extract of the leaves. The extracted G. biloba leaf products contained the same flavonoids as the raw leaves except for the lack of biflavones. The detected glycosylated flavonol contents were equal to or more than 0.0008% of the dry plant material. This is the first report of the presence of more than 20 of these flavonoids in G. biloba.

The demethylation of 3,4-dioxygenated 6-methoxy-2- isopropoxyacetophenones was studied and it was found that 4-benzyloxy-6- hydroxy-3-methoxy-2-isopropoxyacetophenone was easily obtained from 4- benzyloxy-3,6-dimethoxy-2-isopropoxyacetophenone by selective demethylation with anhydrous aluminum bromide-sodium iodide in acetonitrile. The acetophenone was converted into 7-benzyloxy-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-5- isopropoxyflavones by cyclization followed by oxidation with dimethyldioxirane. The isopropoxy group in the flavones was selectively cleaved with anhydrous aluminum chloride via the corresponding tosylates to give 7-benzyloxy-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methoxyflavones, which were converted into the desired 3,5,7-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavones by hydrogenolysis. The process was suitable as a general method for synthesizing 3,5,7-trihydroxy-6- methoxyflavones and five flavones were synthesized. We also examined the 13C-NMR spectra of twelve kinds of 3,5,6,7-tetraoxygenated 4'- methoxyflavones and revised the proposed structure of a natural flavone.

Seven crystalline flavanoids: 6,7-dimethoxy-3,5,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone 3-O-rhamnoside 1; 3,5,6,7,3',4'-hexahydroxyflavone 7-O-glucoside (quecetagitrin) 2; 6-methoxy-3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavone 7-O-glucoside (patulitrin) 3; 3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavone 7-O-glucoside (quercimetrin) 4; 6,7-dimethoxy-3,5,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone 5; dimethoxy-3,5,4'-trihydroxyflavone 3-O-rhamnoside 6; and 6,7-dimethoxy-3,5,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone 3-O-glucoside 7; have been isolated from methanolic extract of the Rudbeckia hirta L. herb by column chromatography on cellulose and polyamide.These compounds were identified by using UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, EI-MS and FD-MS.Four compounds: 1, 4, 5, and 6 have been found for the first time in this plant.

Key Word Index-Flaveria chloraefolia; Compositae; ombuin 3-sulphate; flavonol sulphate.Abstract-One novel flavonoid sulphate ester and two known non-sulphated flavonoids were isolated from the leaves of Flaveria chloraefolia.The novel sulphated conjugate is 7,4'-dimethylquercetin (ombuin) 3-sulphate, and the known compounds are 6-methoxyquercetin and its 3-glucoside.The structure of ombuin 3-sulphate was established by UV spectroscopy, acid hydrolysis followed by EIMS of the aglycone, as well as enzymatic synthesis.

Besides spinatoside (3,6-dimethoxy-5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone 4'-O-β-D-glucopyranuronide), three new flavonol glycosides have now been isolated from the polar fractions of the methanolic extract of Spinacia oleracea.They have been identified as patuletin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->6)-2)>-β-D-glucopyranoside, patuletin 3-O-β-gentiobioside and spinacetin 3-O-β-gentiobioside, respectively. Key Word Index - Spinacia oleracea; Chenopodiaceae; spinach; 6-methoxy-3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavone 3-O-β-D-glucosyl-(1->6)-2)>-β-D-glucoside; 6-methoxy-3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavone 3-O-β-gentiobioside; 6,3'-dimethoxy-3,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxyflavone 3-O-β-D-gentiobiside; spinatoside.
