[The structure identification of Julibroside J6 from Albizia julibrissin Durazz]
1Department of Natural Medicinces, Beijing Medical University, Beijing 100083, China.
Objective:
To study the saponin from Albizia julibrissin.
Methods:
A saponin was separated by using chromatography and its structure was elucidated on the basis of spectral data.
Results:
A saponin was obtained and it's structure was identified as 3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta- D-2-deoxy-2-acetamidoglucopyranosyl]-21-O-(6S-2-trans-2-hydroxymethyl- 6-methyl-6-O-[4-O-(6S-2-trans-2-hydroxymethyl-6-methyl-6-hydroxy-2, 7-octadienoyl)-beta-D-quinovopyranosyl]-2, 7-octadienoyl)-acacic acid-28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-[alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl- (1-->4)]-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester.
Conclusion:
The saponin is a new compound named Julibroside J6.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
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.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and phenols...

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
