Abstract:
A benzophenone glucoside and two flavonol glycosides were isolated together with 27 known polyphenols from the aerial parts of Coleogyne ramosissima, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods as iriflophenone 2-O-beta-glucopyranoside, isorhamnetin 3-O-2G-rhamnopyranosylrutinoside-7-O-alpha-rhamnopyranoside and limocitrin 3-O-rutinoside-7-O-beta-glucopyranoside, respectively.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Overview
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.

Aromatic Compounds: Overview
In general, the term ‘aromatic’ indicates a pleasant smell or fragrance from fresh flowers, freshly prepared coffee, etc. In the early history of organic chemistry, many benzene derivatives were isolated from the pleasant odor oils of the plants. For example, vanillin was isolated from the oil of vanilla, methyl salicylate from the oil of wintergreen, and cinnamaldehyde from the oil of cinnamon. They all had a pleasant odor; hence the name aromatic was given.
