First 13 C‐NMR Assignments of Betaxanthins

Due to their inherent liability towards highly acidic conditions previously considered to be a prerequisite for data acquisition, betaxanthin structure dereplication by NMR spectroscopy has been scarcely reported and was, hitherto, exclusively based on 1 H‐NMR data interpretation. Applying only slightly acidic conditions, we herein report the first 13 C‐NMR data of two betaxanthins, i.e. , indicaxanthin ( 1 ), isolated from yellow‐orange cactus pear fruits ( Opuntia ficus‐indica [L.] Mill . cv. ‘Gialla’), and of miraxanthin V ( 2 ) from yellow Swiss chard petioles ( Beta vulgaris L. ssp. cicla [L.] Alef . cv. ‘Bright Lights’), as derived by gHSQC‐ and gHMQC‐NMR experiments and inverse detection.
