FACUNDO, Valdir A.; MORAIS, Selene M.  e  BRAZ FILHO, Raimundo. Chemical constituents of Ottonia corcovadensis Miq. from Amazon forest: ¹h and ¹³c chemical shift assignments. Quím. Nova [online]. 2004, vol.27, n.1, pp. 79-83. ISSN 0100-4042.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-40422004000100017.

In an ethanolic extract of leaves of Ottonia corcovadensis (Piperaceae) were identified sixteen terpenoids of essential oil and the three flavonoids 3',4',5,5',7-pentamethoxyflavone (1), 3',4',5,7-tetramethoxyflavone (2) and 5-hydroxy-3',4',5',7-tetramethoxyflavone (3) and cafeic acid (4). Two amides (5 and 6) were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the roots. The structures were established by spectral analysis, meanly NMR (1D and 2D) and mass spectra. Extensive NMR analysis was also used to complete ¹H and ¹³C chemical shift assignments of the flavonoids and amides. The components of the essential oil were identified by computer library search, retention indices and visual interpretation of mass spectra.
