Abstract
Hydrangenol glucoside was isolated and identified from the flowers of Hydrangea macrophylla Ser. The free isoconmarin, hydrangenol, was isolated and identified from acid hydrolyzates of flower, leaf, and root extracts of the same species. Roots contained the largest amounts.Cinnamic acid-2-C14 and phenylalanine-U-C14 were relatively good precursors of hydrangenol-C14, whereas tyrosine-U-C14 was not. Similarly, hydrangenol-C14 was readily synthesized by roots from acetate-1-C14 and acetate-2-C14. This preliminary study suggests that both acetate and phenylpropanoid compounds may be involved in hydrangenol synthesis.Keywords
