Description
Summary:A phytochemical reinvestigation of the phenolics of Larrea divaricata led to the isolation and characterization of dihydroguaiaretic acid, norisoguaiacin, and 3'-demethoxyisoguaiacin. Partially demethylated dihydroguaiaretic acid was detected via the use of partially demethylated dihydroguaiaretic acid synthesized from dihydroguaiaretic acid. Techniques are given for the preparation of norisoguaiacin, dihydroguaiaretic acid, and nordihydroguaiaretic acid. Sodium molybdate complexes were used to effect the isolation and preparation of norisoguaiacin. Some biological properties of the phenolic compounds studied are given.
