Abstract

The structure of a new glucosidic iridoid, 6-epiaucubin 1, isolated from leaves of a tropical tree, Tecoma chrysantha Jacq., was established by analysis of the spectroscopical data of 1 and its hexa-O-acetyl derivative 3. Partial synthesis of 1 from its epimer, aucubin 2, is also reported.
