Isolation and synthesis of chalcones with different degrees of saturation.
Crotaoprostrin, a chalcone not yet known as a plant constituent, was isolated from the aerial parts of the Indian medicinal plant Crotalaria prostrata. The structures of the chalcone polyarvin and the partially hydrogenated naturally occurring derivatives crotaramin, crotaramosmin, and crotin were confirmed by chemical synthesis.
