Derivative Type: Monohydrate
Properties: Needles from methanol, mp 268-270°. [a]D26 -100° (0.07 g in 10 ml glacial acetic acid); [a]D24 -87° (0.05 g in pyridine). Practically insol in water and the usual organic solvents. Sol in nitrobenzene, phenol, aniline, pyridine, concd acids and alkalies. The water of crystn cannot be removed at 100°
in vacuo over P2O5 (Merz); may be removed at 138° in high vacuum (Zemplén). Hydrolysis gives 5,7-dihydroxy-4¢-methoxyflavone, D-glucose, and L-rhamnose.
Melting point: mp 268-270°
Optical Rotation: [a]D26 -100° (0.07 g in 10 ml glacial acetic acid); [a]D24 -87° (0.05 g in pyridine)
