Two new hydroxy chalcone derivatives from Thymus cilicicus

Abstract

The aerial part of Thymus cilicicus Linn. (Labiatae) has afforded two new hydroxy chalcone derivatives, characterized as 4, 2′, 4′, 6′, 7, 8-hexahydroxy-7 (8)-dihydro-chalcone (1), and 3,4, 2′, 4′, 6′, 7, 8-heptahydroxy-7 (8)-dihydro-chalcone (2). The structures of the isolated compounds have been elucidated based on various spectral studies. © 2007 Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung.
