title: Tenuiflorins A-C: new 2-phenoxychromones from the leaves of Mimosa tenuiflora.
abstract: Five 2-phenoxychromones, the new tenuiflorin A [5,7-dihydroxy-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenoxy)-6-methoxychromone], tenuiflorin B [5,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenoxy)-6-methoxychromone] and tenuiflorin C [5,7-dihydroxy-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenoxy)chromone], along with the known 6-demethoxycapillarisin and 6-demethoxy-4'- O-methylcapillarisin were isolated from leaves of Mimosa tenuiflora. Structures of these compounds were established by analysis of their spectroscopic data. A single-crystal diffraction analysis of 6-demethoxy-4'- O-methylcapillarisin was performed in order to confirm the proposed structures.
