A complex of perseitol and K+ ion from Scurrula fusca (Loranthaceae)

Abstract

A complex of perseitol (d-glycero-d-galacto-heptitol) and K+ ions in a molar ratio of 20:1 was isolated from the leaves of Scurrula fusca (Loranthaceae). The stereochemical structure of the complex was determined using several kinds of NMR techniques.

A complex of perseitol (d-glycero-d-galacto-heptitol) and K+ ions in a molar ratio of 20:1 was isolated from the leaves of Scurrula fusca (Loranthaceae). The stereochemical structure of the complex was determined using several kinds of NMR techniques. The figure shows an interaction of perseitol with K+ ions in the complex.
