Structure elucidation and NMR spectral assignments of four neolignan glycosides with enantiometric aglycones from Osmanthus ilicifolius

Four new 8-O-4' type neolignan glycosides with enantiometric aglycones, (7S,8R)-erythro-guaiacylglycerol-beta-O-4'-sinapyl ether 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), (7R,8S)-erythro-guaiacylglycerol-beta-O-4'-sinapyl ether 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), (7S,8R)-erythro- syringylglycerol-beta-O-4'-sinapyl ether 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3) and (7R,8S)-erythro- syringylglycerol-beta-O-4'-sinapyl ether 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), were isolated from the leaves of Osmanthus ilicifolius. Their structures were established on the basis of NMR, circular dichroism (CD), MS and chemical data. The NMR assignments for the compounds were carried out using (1)H, (13)C, COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY NMR experiments.
