title: New salicylic acid and isoflavone derivatives from Flemingia paniculata.
abstract: A new salicylic acid derivative, 2-carboxy-3-(2-hydroxypropanyl)phenol (1), and four new isoflavones, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-8-(1,1-dimethylprop-2-enyl)isoflavone (2), 5,7,2',4'-tetrahydroxy-8-(1,1-dimethylprop-2-enyl)isoflavone (3), 5,2',4'-trihydroxy-4' ',4' ',5' '(xi)-trimethyl-4' ',5' '-dihydrofurano-(7,6,2' ',3' ')isoflavone (4), and 5,2',4'-trihydroxy-7-(3-methylbut-2-enyloxy)isoflavone (5), were isolated from the stem bark of Flemingia paniculata. The structures of these compounds were established unambiguously by spectroscopic data interpretation. The biogenetic pathways to 1 and 2-4 have been postulated.
