n-Alkyl glycosides and p-hydroxybenzoyloxy glucose from fruits of Crescentia cujete

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0031-9422(97)00409-3

The fruits of Crescentia cujete afforded eight new compounds, along with four known compounds, acanthoside D, β-D-glucopyransoyl benzoate, (R)-1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-1,3-octanediol, and β-D-fructofuranosyl 6-O-(p-hydroxybenzoyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside. The structures of the new glycosides were established as three glycosides of (2R,4S)-2,4-pentanediol, two glycosides of (R)-4-hydroxy-2-pentanone, two glycosides of (R)-1,3-octanediol and 6-O-(p-hydroybenzoyl)-D-glucose, by spectroscopic and chemical methods.
