Phenylpropane glycosides from Juniperus phoenicea.

ABSTRACT

Juniperoside, a new 9-O[beta- D-glucopyranoside]-3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamyl alcohol has been isolated along with the 9- O-[alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1-->6)-beta- D-glucopyranoside]cinnamyl alcohol (rosarin) and coumarin 7- O-beta- D-glucopyranoside (skimmin) from the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Juniperus phoenicea L. The structure elucidation of these natural products was achieved mainly by mass and NMR spectroscopy.
