Two new flavonoids, rac-6-formyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavanone (1) and 2′,6′-dihydroxy-4′-methoxy-3′-methylchalcone (2), together with five known derivatives, rac-8-formyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavanone (3), 4′,6′-dihydroxy-2′-methoxy-3′-methyldihydrochalcone (4), rac-7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6-methylflavanone (5), 3′-formyl-2′,4′,6′-trihydroxy-5′-methyldihydrochalcone (6), and 3′-formyl-2′,4′,6′-trihydroxydihydrochalcone (7), were isolated from the leaves of Eugenia rigida. The individual (S)- and (R)-enantiomers of 1 and 3, together with the corresponding formylated flavones 8 (6-formyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavone) and 9 (8-formyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavone), as well as 2′,4′,6′-trihydroxychalcone (10), 3′-formyl-2′,4′,6′-trihydroxychalcone (11), and the corresponding 3′-formyl-2′,4′,6′-trihydroxydihydrochalcone (7) and 2′,4′,6′-trihydroxydihydrochalcone (12), were synthesized. The structures of the isolated and synthetic compounds were established via NMR, HRESIMS, and electronic circular dichroism data. In addition, the structures of 3, 5, and 8 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction crystallography. The isolated and synthetic flavonoids were evaluated for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities against a panel of microorganisms and solid tumor cell lines.

Page/Page column 3-4, (2010/11/03)
The present invention relates to a method for resolution of a mixture of pinocembrin optical isomers, in particular a pinocembrin racemate, using a chiral primary amine or a chiral sulfinamide. The present invention also relates to a (R)-(+)-pinocembrin obtained by the method.
Acidic rearrangement of (benzyloxy)chalcones: A short synthesis of chamanetin
Sagrera, Gabriel,Seoane, Gustavo
, p. 4190 - 4202 (2011/03/20)
Treatment of (benzyloxy)chalcones with trifluoroacetic acid in refluxing chloroform gave several new benzyl(hydroxy)flavanones in high yields and good regioselectivities. By using this procedure, we prepared the natural compound chamanetin in good yield from readily available reagents. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart - New York.
