3-Hydroxyflavone is a chemical compound. It is the backbone of all
flavonols. Although 3-hydroxyflavone is almost insoluble in water, its aqueous solubility (hence bio-availability) can be increased by encapsulation in cyclodextrin cavities.[5]
Synthesis
The
Algar-Flynn-Oyamada reaction is a chemical reaction whereby a chalcone
undergoes an oxidative cyclization to form a flavonol.
