Flavonoids classification, isolation and identificationMona Ismail
Flavonoids are groups of polyphenolic compounds which are found in fruits, flowers, seeds & vegetable.
(named from the Latin word flavus meaning yellow, their colour in nature)
Flavones are yellow plant pigments that occur either freely or as glycosides. They are hydroxylated derivatives of 2-phenyl-4-chromone. Flavones are yellow solids that are soluble in water and ethanol. Their structure was determined to be C15H10O2 based on analytical data and molecular weight determination. When boiled with alcoholic KOH, flavones produce a mixture of four compounds: salicylic acid, acetophenone, o-hydroxyacetophenone, and benzoic acid, explaining their core structure. Several methods can be used to synthesize flavones, including Kostanecki's, Robinson's, modified Claisen's condensation, Baker-Ven

3. QUINONES
• The quinones are a class of organic compounds that are formally derived from aromatic compounds such as benzene or
naphthalene.
• These are derived from conversation of an even number of –CH= groups into—C(=O)- groups with necessary rearrangement of
double bonds.
Quinones are of two types:-
1. Napthoquinones.
2. Benzoquinones.
Napthoquinone:-
Napthoquinones is a class of organic compounds structurally related to naphthalene.
Eg- Chitrak, Henna.
Benzoquinone:-
