Two novel flavonoids: 6,7-(2,2-dimethylchromano)-5,4'-dihydroxyflavone
and ',5'-bis-(2,2-dimethylchromano)-2'-hydroxychalcone together with
the known 6-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)apigenin and two chalcones 2-enyl]phen
yl]-3-[4-hydroxyphenyl]-prop-2-en-1-one and roxy-3-[3-methylbut-2-enyl
]phenyl]-prop-2-en-1-one were characterised from leaf tissue of Dorste
nia Kameruniana. The structures were established on the basis of spect
roscopic data. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
