“…The site of attachment of the sugar was determined by oxidative destruction of the glycoside [4,6]. This formed a biose identical to rutinose [2] that was bonded to C 3 of the aglycon.PMR spectrum (600 MHz, CD 3 OD, δ, ppm, J/Hz): 6.48 (1H, d, J = 0.8, H-4), 6.01 (1H, d, J = 2.1, H-6), 5.99 (1H, dd, J = 2.12, H-8), 7.09 (1H, d, J = 2.12, H-2′), 6.82 (1H, d, J = 8.0, H-5′), 6.98 (1H, dd, J = 2.14, 8.4, H-6′), 4.99 (1H, m, Glc H-1), 4.32 (1H, d, J = 1.68, Rha H-1), 1.32 (3H, d, J = 6.3, Rha CH 3 ).The chemical shifts of the aromatic protons did not correlate with those for the flavylium cation because the isolated anthocyan glycoside was the hemiacetal form [5]. The PMR data given above did agree fully with those.…”
