Abstract

Three new cyanogenic diglycosides of the mandelonitrile series have been isolated from fruits of Anthemis cairica (Compositae) and their structures identified by degradation and spectral methods mainly 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FAB-MS. Minor compounds are 2-β-primeverosyloxy-2-phenyl-2S-acetonitrile (epilucumin) and its 4″-p(β-D-glucopyranosyloxyl-(E)cinnamate; the main compound is the 4″-p(β-primeverosyloxy)-(E)cinnamate of epilucumin.
