Phytochemical investigation of Pelargonium graveolens and isolation of flavonol derivative

Abstract

The compound 5-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (flavonol derivative) has been isolated from Pelargonium graveolens for the first time. The isolated bio-active compound was obtained from the chloroform extract of the Pelargonium. The compound was analysed by spectral data and confirmed by X-ray crystallography analysis.
