Abstract:
The interglycosidic linkages of four quinovic acid glycosides previously described from the bark of Nauclea diderrichii (de Wild) Merr. (Rubiaceae) are revised on the basis of 2D-NMR spectroscopic results. The structures were established as: quinovic acid 3-O-beta-glucopyranosyl(1-->4)-beta-fucopyranosyl-(28-->1)-beta -glucopyranosyl ester, quinovic acid 3-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alpha-rhamnopyranosyl-(28-->1)-beta-glucopyranosyl ester, quinovic acid 3-O-beta-glucopyrnaosyl-(1-->4)-beta-fucopyranoside, and quinovic acid 3-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alpha-rhamnopyranoside. The first three saponins are new compounds.
