(syn. Kaempferia pandurata Roxb.; family Zingiberaceae). Spectroscopic studies have established the structure (±)-(E)-l-[5′-hydroxy-7′-methoxy-2′-methyl- 2′-(4″-methylpent-3″-enyl)-2″H-l-benzopyran-6″-yl]-3-phenylprop-2-en-l-one for boesenbergin B. A simple synthesis of boesenbergin B has been achieved and its acid-catalysed cyclization has been studied. © 1984 ASEG.Mahidol UniversityChemistryConstituents of Boesenbergia pandurata (syn.
