Abstract: An acylated kaempferol glycoside, namely kaempferol-3-O-α-L-(2,3-di-E-pcoumaroyl)-rhamnoside (1) was isolated from the flowers of Foeniculum vulgare Mill. and F. dulce DC. It is thus isolated for the first time from family Apiaceae. In addition, the different organs of both plants afforded six flavonoid glycosides - namely afzelin (kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnoside) (2), quercitrin (3), isorhamnetin-3-O-β-D-glucoside (4), isoquercitrin (5), rutin (6), and miquelianin (quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide) (7). Structure elucidation of the above mentioned flavonoids was achieved by UV, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, ¹H-¹H COSY, HMQC and EI-MS.

Keywords: Foeniculum vulgare; F. dulce; acylated kaempferol glycoside; spectroscopy
