Abstract
Circular dichroism is a powerful tool for establishing the absolute configuration of flavonoids and proanthocyanidin analogues. It has been utilized to study the configuration of flavanones, dihydroflavonols (3-hydroxyflavanones), flavan-3-ols, flavan-4-ols, flavan-3,4-diols, flavans, isoflavans, isoflavanones, pterocarpans, 6a-hydroxypterocarpans, rotenoids, 12a-hydroxyrotenoids, neoflavonoids, 3,4-dihydro-4-arylcoumarins, 4-arylflavan-3-ols, auronols, homoisoflavanones, proanthocyanidins, and various classes of biflavonoids. Results relevant to the correlation of circular dichroic data and the absolute configuration of the diastereoisomers of some of the above classes of compounds will be discussed.Entities:
