2β-D-GLUCOPYRANOSYLOXY-2-METHYLPROPANOL IN ACACIA SIEBERANA VAR. WOODII

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(82)83032-X

A new diol glucoside, 2-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-2-methylpropanol, the first reported naturally occurring monoglucoside of an aliphatic dihydric alcohol, was isolated from pods of Acacia sieberana var. woodii.Structure eucdation was based on 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and anzymatic analyses.The compound was hydrolysed very slowly by almond β-glucosidase, but cleaved by a β-glucuronidase enzyme complex from Helix pomatia.Key Word Index - Acacia sieberana var. woodii; Mimosoideae; glycoside; novel diol glucoside; 2-methyl-1,2-propanediol aglycone; dihydric alcohol; glycol; diol lipids.
