Abstract

Color reaction chemistry of furan ring anellated flavonoids was explored. Structurally different furanoflavonoids gave reaction products with different color hues. Efforts were made to establish structure-color reaction chemistry of products mechanistically and theoretically.

Keywords: Furanoflavonoids, secondary metabolites, color reactions, semi-synthesis
