Hovetrichosides C-G, five new glycosides of two auronols, two neolignans, and a phenylpropanoid from the bark of Hovenia trichocarea.

Two 2-hydroxy-2-benzylcoumaranone glycosides, 2,4, 6-trihydroxy-2-[(4'-hydroxyphenyl) methyl]-3(2H)-benzofuranone-4-yl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (maesopsin 4-O-glucoside) (1) and 2,4,6-trihydroxy-2-[(4'-hydroxyphenyl) methyl]-3(2H)-benzofuranone-4-yl-beta-D-glucopyranosido-4'-y l-alpha-L -rhamnopyranoside (maesopsin 4-O-glucosido 4'-O-rhamnoside) (2), two neolignan glycosides, 2R-(E)-2, 3-dihydro-2-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxylphenyl)-5-(3"-hydroxy-1"-pro pen yl) -7-methoxy-3-benzofuranmethanol-4'-yl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3 )-[ beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(l-->2)]-beta-d-glucopyranoside (3) and (threo) 1-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxy)-2-(4"-hydroxymethyl-2", 6"-dimethoxyphenoxy)-propane-1,3-diol-4'-yl-beta-d-glucopynosid e (4), and a phenylpropanoid glycoside, 3-methoxy-5-(2'-propenyl)-1, 2-benzenediol-1-yl-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D- glucopyransodie (5) were isolated from the bark of Hovenia trichocarea. Compounds 1-5 were named hovetricosides C-G, respectively, and their structures were established by extensive NMR experiments and chemical methods. Also obtained in this investigation were the known compounds acanthoside B, kelampayoside A, shashenoside I, and 3,4, 5-trimethoxyphenol-1-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D- glucopyranoside.
