Abstract

Further lipophilic flavonols present in Vellozia graminifolia have been determined by high temperature high resolution gas chromatography (HTHRGC) and by HTHRGC coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). These methods resulted in the detection, isolation and characterisation of a monoisoprenylated flavonol 3,5,4'-trimethoxy-3'-hydroxy-6,7-(2"-isopropenyldihydrofurano)flavone from the ethyl acetate extract of the whole plant. The structural elucidation was accomplished using spectral data, including two-dimensional NMR, and on chemical transformations. Both HTHRGC and HTHRGC-MS were shown to be alternative and extremely valuable methods for the quick screening of flavonoid aglycones and other chemical metabolites of the Velloziaceae.
