Six new geranyl-hydroquinone-derived compounds have been isolated from the acetone extract of Cordia alliodora heartwood and characterized. The structural character of these compounds allows the proposal of a detailed biogenetic pathway to the geranyl-hydroquinone and geranyl-benzoquinone constituents of Cordia sp.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
