Characterization of phenolic compounds in rooibos tea

Polyphenols present in rooibos, a popular herbal tea from Aspalathus linearis, were isolated in two steps. First, phenolic ingredients were separated by multilayer countercurrent chromatography (MLCCC). Preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was then applied to obtain pure flavonoids. The purity and identity of isolated compounds was confirmed by different NMR experiments, HPLC-diode array detector (DAD), or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. This strategy proved to be valid to isolate material in up to gram quantities and to verify known and previously not published polyphenol structures. In addition the chemistry of dihydrochalcones and related intermediates was studied. The dihydrochalcone aspalathin was oxidized to the corresponding flavanone-C-glycosides ((R)/(S)-eriodictyol-6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside and (R)/(S)-eriodictyol-8-C- β-D-glucopyranoside). Flavanone-6-C-β-D-glucopyranosides were further degraded to flavones isoorientin and orientin.

29Si and 13C NMR spectra of five 4-substituted 2,6-dimetoxytrimethylsiloxybenzenes were studied with the aim to elucidate the nature of the deshielding proximity effects observed in the spectra of ortho substitued trimethylsiloxybenzenes.The sensitivity of 29Si chemical shifts to para substitution is in the studied compounds essentially the same as in mono ortho methoxy-trimethylsiloxybenzenes.The deshielding proximity effect of the "second' methoxy group is somewhat smaller than that of the 'first' group.The present results indicate that the two methoxy groups assume coplanar conformations with the benzene ring and are turned away from the trimethylsiloxy group which is not in the benzene plane.It is argued that in mono ortho methoxytrimethylsiloxybenzenes the two substituent groups adopt the same conformations as in the compounds studied here.
ASSIGNMENT OF 29Si NMR LINES AND DETERMINATION OF 29Si-13C COUPLING CONSTANTS IN PERTRIMETHYLSILYLATED LIGNIN-RELATED PHENOL-CARBOXYLIC ACIDS BY SELECTIVE HETERONUCLEAR INADEQUATE METHOD

Selective heteronuclear (Si-C) INADEQUATE method has been successfully used to assign all 29Si chemical shifts in six pertrimethylsilylated lignin model compounds.Empirical assignment of the lines in the region δ=23-25 to trimethylsilyl esters of carboxyl
