“…The IR spectrum showed absorption bands due to hydroxy and conjugated carbonyl groups. The UV spectrum was similar to that of 7a-Omethylelliptonol (4) [8], which we also isolated from the same plant. The 1 H NMR spectral data of 2 (Table 1) showed signals corresponding to two methylene signals at 4.24 (2H, m, H-6) and 1.98, 2.51 (each 1H, H-6a), a hydroxy signal at 5.00, three singlet signals of methoxy groups at 3.71, 3.86, and 3.98, two singlet signals of aromatic protons at 6.52 (1H, s, H-1) and 6.48 (1H, s, H-4), two ortho-coupled doublets at 7.05 (1H, d, J = 8.4 Hz, H-10) and 6.85 (1H, d, J = 8.4 Hz, H-11), and a 1,2-disubstituted furan moiety at 6.93 (1H, d, J = 2.2 Hz, H-3') and 7.59 (1H, d, J = 2.2 Hz, H-2').…”
