Abstract:
Two new 5-deoxyflavonoids, 7,2',3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (1) and 7,2',3',4'-tetramethoxyflavanone (2) together with a known flavone 7,4'-dimethoxy-3'-hydroxyflavone (3) were isolated from the whole plant of Calliandra inermis. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated by high resolution electron impact mass spectrometry (HR-EI-MS) and 1D and 2D-NMR spectral studies including 1H-1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), heteronuclear multiple bond connectivity (HMBC) and nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY).
