Structural elucidation of two new chromones isolated from glasswort (Salicornia europaea L.).

Abstract

Two chromones isolated from the methanol extract of glasswort (Salicornia europaea L.) were elucidated to be 7-hydroxy-6-methoxychromoneand 7 O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-6-methoxychromone on the basis of chemical and spectral analyses and synthetic studies. These two are natural products hitherto unknown.
