Chromene chalcones from Tephrosia carrollii and the revised structure of Oaracacin

Z Naturforsch C J Biosci. 2001 Nov-Dec;56(11-12):969-72. doi: 10.1515/znc-2001-11-1210.

Abstract

The aerial parts of Tephrosia carrollii afforded two chromene chalcones. Their structures and stereochemistry were established by spectroscopic methods. The structure of oaxacacin was revised and confirmed by X-ray diffraction. In this paper, we describe the isolation of the chalcone known as "oaxacacin" and the new chalcone named epoxyobovatachalcone. The compound der. oaxacacin was found to be identical with obovatachalcone based on spectroscopic evidence and X-ray diffraction.
