A new monoterpene glucoside (1) was isolated from a methanol extract of the dried aerial parts of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), together with known 2- and 5-beta-D-glucopyranosylthymoquinols (2 and 3, respectively), and (-)-angelicoidenol-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4). The structure of 1 was elucidated to be (R)-p-cymen-9-yl beta-D-glucopyranoside by spectral evidence and enantioselective synthesis from (R)- and (S)-p-cymen-9-ol derived from p-cymen-8-ol.

In the title compound, [Zn(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(28)H(21)N(3)O)], the Zn(II) ion is in a trigonal-bipyramidal ZnN(3)O(2) coordination with a tridentate N-chelating 4'-[4-(benz-yloxy)phen-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand in the equatorial position and two acetate anions in the axial positions. The three pyridine rings are approximately coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.03 Å from the mean plane. The phen-oxy substituent makes a dihedral angle of 18.1 (2)° with the central pyridine ring. The benzyl group has a C-O-C-C torsion angle of 77.62 (8)° relative to the phen-oxy ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
