Abstract
Further investigation of Cape aloe led to the isolation of two new 5-m ethylchromones. Their structures have been established as -7-hydroxy-8 -(3-hydroxyacetonyl)-5-methyl-chromone (2) and onyl-8-(2-furoylmethyl) -7-hydroxy-5-methylchromone (3) on the basis of spectroscopic data. A mechanistic hypothesis to account for their occurrence in the drug is presented.
