Two independent syntheses of 5‐hydroxy‐6‐hydroxymethyl‐7‐methoxy‐8‐methylflavanone (1), which was supposed to be natural leridol, demonstrated that this structure assignment was wrong and that the natural flavanone leridol was indeed 5‐hydroxy‐8‐hydroxymethyl‐7‐methoxy‐6‐methylflavanone (2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
