Two new isoflavonols (1, 2) with insect antifeedant activity have been
isolated from the trifoliates of Trifolium subterraneum (Leguminosae)
. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic ana
lyses. In addition, oct-1-en-3-yl arabinopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-glucop
yranoside (3), a new metabolite, and phaselic acid (4), previously obt
ained from Trifolium repens, were isolated and characterized.
