Abstract

Abstract Isolation of the known diglucoside of (E)-1, 5-bis (3′, 4′-dihydroxyphenyl) pent-4- en-1-yne (hypoxoside) from Hypoxis rooperi is described. In vivo tests indicate low toxic properties. A general synthesis for the introduction of the pentenyne link between two aromatic rings is described.
