| Abstract: | Two previously unreported amino acids have been found to form major constituents of seed of Caesalpinia tinctoria; they have been characterized as 4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylphenylalanine and 3-hydroxymethylphenylalanine. The seed also contains a large amount of the imino acid baikiain. The amino acid content of seeds of this species is compared with that for 12 other species of Caesalpinia and 14 species in closely related genera. |
