Two novel acyl sucroses from Petunia nyctaginiflora

Abstract

Two acyl sucroses, isolated from Petunia nyctaginiflora Jussieu (Solanaceae) have been characterized chemically as 2,3,4-tri(5-methylhexanoyl)- α-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-6-acetyl fructo-furanoside 4 and 2,3,4-tri(6-methylheptanoyl)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-6-acetyl fructofuranoside 6, on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence.
