In continuation of the study of flavonoids from plants of the Haplophyllum A. Juss. genus, we studied the aerial part
of H. foliosum Vved. [1, 2]. Previously several alkaloids were isolated from its subterranean part [2, 3].
Ground air-dried raw material (1.4 kg) collected during flowering (June 1981) in Kugart (Fergana range, Dzhalalabad
District, Republic of Kyrgyzstan) was exhaustively extracted with ethanol at room temperature. The combined extracts were
evaporated in vacua. The condensed residue was treated with water and then worked up with CHCl and ethylacetate. Solvents
3
were evaporated to yield 28.0 g (CHCl ) and 20.0 g (ethylacetate) of solid.

The ethylacetate fraction was chromatographed over a silica-gel column using gradient elution by CHCl —CH OH

(
97:3-85:15). Compounds 1-3 were isolated. They were identified using UV, mass, and PMR spectra in addition to chemical
transformations and comparison with authentic samples.

Acid hydrolysis of 2 afforded limocitrin (3,5,7,4 -tetrahydroxy-8,3 -dimethoxyflavone) and D-glucose.

Acetylation of 2 by acetic anhydride in pyridine gave a heptaacetyl derivative with mp 113-115 C, the mass spectrum
of which gave a molecular ion with m/z 760 [M - 42] and strong peaks for fragments of tetraacetylhexoses with m/z 331, 271,
29, and 169 [6].

Acid hydrolysis of 3 gave limocitrin, D-glucose, and L-rhamnose.

Acetylation of 3 by acetic anhydride in pyridine gave a nonoacetyl derivative with mp 191-194 C, the mass spectrum

terminal rhamnose with m/z 273, 213, and 153 [7].
Flavonoids 1-3 from H. foliosum were isolated for the first time.
The dried and ground subterranean part (0.9 kg) of H. pedicellatum Bunge collected at the start of flowering (June 10,
1
980) near Bairamali, Republic of Turkmenistan [1, 2], was exhaustively extracted with ethanol (95%). The alcohol was
evaporated in vacua. The aqueous residue was purified of lipophilic substances by treatment with CHCl . Flavonoids were
3
extracted with ethylacetate to yield 35.0 g of product that was separated on a silica-gel column with gradient elution by
CHCl —CH OH (97:3-85:15). Compounds 4 and 5 and haploside C were isolated.
