Three sorts of new compounds have been isolated from Leptorumohra miqueliana H. ITO (=Polystichopsis miqueliana TAGAWA) (Aspidiaceae) and they have been named leptorumolin, leptorumol and protofarrenol. Their melting points and molecular formula are as follows : leptorumolin (I), mp 218°, C
18H
22O
8 ; leptorumol (II), mp 254°, C
11H
10O
4 ; and protofarrerol, mp 210°, C
17H
18O
6. In this report, by means of the nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet, infrared and mass spectrum analyses, as well as degradation reactions, the structure of II was determined to be 5, 7-dihydroxy-6, 8-dimethylchromone, and I is also confirmed to be 4-methoxy-D-glucoside of II, whose binding site is at 7-position of chromone ring. On the other hand, from the starting material of 3, 4-dimethylphoroacetophenone, 5, 7-dihydroxy-6, 8-dimethylchromone (II) was synthesized successfully.
