Flavones and flavonols

  • Chapter
The Flavonoids

Abstract

In this chapter, emphasis is given to the natural distribution of flavones and flavonols occurring in the free state. The relevant data are compiled in Tables 7.1–7. 7. In all, these tables list over 200 flavones and almost 300 flavonols with simple hydroxyl (or methoxyl) substitution patterns (Tables 7.1 and 7.2), thus stressing the earlier observation that flavonols predominate over flavones. Further, these tables contain more than 160 compounds with extra substituents (including compounds shown in Figs 7.3 and 7.4). Since the data for the previous edition (Wollenweber, 1982a) were compiled, some 40 flavones and 50 flavonols of the usual type have been reported as novel natural products (Tables 7.1 and 7.2), and some 50 novel flavonoids with extra substituents have also been added (Tables 7.3–7.7 and Figs 7.3 and 7.4).
