1H and13C-NMR data of hydroxyflavone derivatives

Many hydroxyflavone derivatives have been found in nature and shown to have many biological functions. Because their function is changed by the position and number of hydroxyl group, their structural identification is a fundamental and necessary step for understanding their functions. In the present study, the complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments were presented for 6 hydroxyflavones, and NMR data of additional 14 hydroxyflavone derivatives were compared with those of the 6 hydroxyflavones. In addition, the partially incorrect NMR data of two of the dihydroxyflavones whose NMR data were previously reported were corrected. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
