Description

Fruits of Orania sylvicola (Arecaceae) were extracted with methanol and partitioned with chloroform and n-butanol. Investigation of the chloroform and n-butanol partitions by repetitive chromatographic method resulted in the isolation of two known compounds, namely, 5-hydroxy-7,4'-dimethoxyflavone (1) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (2). Compound 2 is the major phenolic compound and has been used as a chemo taxonomic marker for the Arecaceae family. Their structures were elucidated with UV-VIS, IR, NMR (1H, 13C, HSQC, HMBC, COSY and NOESY) and MS. (author)
