Glycosides of Benzyl and Salicyl Alcohols from Alangium chinense

Abstract

From the water-soluble fraction of the dried leaves of Alangium chinense, three new glycosides, benzyl alcohol β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→6)]-β-D-glucopyranoside, 2'-O-β-D-glucopyranosylsalicin, and 2'-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-6'-O-β-D-xylopyranosylsalicin were isolated along with seven known glycosides. The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectroscopic and chemical means.
