Four glucosides ofp-hydroxyphenyl derivatives from birch leaves
Journal of Wood Science volume 45, pages 332–336 (1999)
Abstract
The extractive of shirakamba (Betula platyphylla Sukatchev var.japonica Hara) leaves was investigated. Four glucosides ofp-hydroxyphenyl derivatives were isolated, and their structures were indentified as betuloside (I), 3,4′-dihydroxy-propiophenone-3-β-d-glucopyranoside (II), salidroside (III), and arbutin (IV). Arbutin was newly found in the leaves of shirakamba.
