Y. Yoshiki et al., SAPONINS CONJUGATED WITH 2,3-DIHYDRO-2,5-DIHYDROXY-6-METHYL-4H-PYRAN-4-ONE FROM PHASEOLUS-COCCINEUS, Phytochemistry, 36(4), 1994, pp. 1009-1012
From the hypocotyl of scarlet runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus), a new
2,3-dihydro-2,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one conjugated saponin,
named soyasaponin alpha a, was isolated together with two known sapon
ins, soyasaponin alpha g and beta g. Their structures were elucidated
by H-1 NMR and (13)CNMR spectroscopy and chemical techniques.
