title: Benzyl-beta-resorcylates from Cassia obtusifolia.
abstract: The seed of Cassia obtusifolia Linn have yielded three new compounds, 2-benzyl-4,6-dihydroxy benzoic acid (1), 2-benzyl-4,6-dihydroxy benzoic acid-6-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2) and 2-benzyl-4,6-dihydroxy benzoic acid-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods, including (1)D- and (2)D NMR spectroscopy, HR-ESI-MS, as well as by comparison of their spectral data with those of related compounds.
