The title compound, C(12)H(14)O(3), is a natural product derived from the medium-sized hawthorn Crataegus persimilis ('prunifolia'). The mean plane of the butene moiety is twisted by 13.27 (7)° with respect to the that of the dioxobenzaldehyde moiety. There is an intra-molecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and the carbonyl O atom.

eight samples of flowering tops from six species of the genus crataegus l., commonly called hawthorn, from different geographic locations of iran were standardized according to german pharmacopoeia monograph on crataegi folium cum flore (hawthorn leaf with flower) by high-performance thin-layer chromatograph-ic (hptlc) fingerprinting combining with digital scanning profiling of their major poly...

Hedgerow fruits provide a food resource for several UK farmland bird species from late summer, through winter and into spring. This project aims to develop the understanding of the interactions between fruit-bearing hedgerow flowers, their pollinators, hedgerow fruits and frugivorous birds. Experiments revealed that flowers of blackthorn, hawthorn and ivy all benefited from insect visits in ord...

The experiment was conducted to proof the new natural plant extracts (Fagopyrum Mill. (buckwheat), Crataegus ex L., (hawthorn), Hypericum L. (St -John's -wort's) and Helichrysum arenarium) and selected flavonoids as reference substances for the in vitro. The probing was performed as considering four different parameters: the antioxidant activity, the antiradical activity – DPPH test, the DPH te...
