Abstract: | A kaempferol-3-O-glucorhamnoside from Ginkgo biloba is defined as the 3-O-alpha-L-[ beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-2)rhamnopyranoside] on the basis of 2D NMR evidence. Complete assignments of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of this compound and of its known p-coumaroyl derivative are presented for the first time. The NMR distinctions of 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4 linked glucopyranosylrhamnopyranosides are discussed and indicate (i) that the 13C NMR assignments for one published gluco(1-3)rhamnoside are in need of modification, (ii) that the published structure of hordenine-O-[6-O-t-cinnamoyl-beta-glucosyl(1-4)-alpha-rhamnoside] from Selaginella doederleinii is not distinguished from the 1-3 linked glucorhamnoside structure, and (iii) that the 8-prenylkaempferol-3-O-[glucosyl(1-4)rhamnoside]-7-O-glucoside and the equivalent 4'-O-methylated xylosyl(1-4)rhamnoside from Epimedium pubescens and E. washanense, respectively, are (1-2)-linked. |
