Gene Information

General description

6-Methoxyflavone is one of the methoxyflavone isolated form Pimelea decora. Synthesis of 6-methoxyflavone from p-dihydroxybenzene has been reported.

Application

6-Methoxyflavone may be employed in the following studies:
  • As internal standard for the analysis of polyphenolic content of in-vitro-cultured chestnut shoots.
  • Synthesis of biflavonoids, rac- and meso-6,6-dimethoxy-2,2-biflavanones.
  • As internal standard for the separation of phenolic compounds in the apricot tissue by HPLC.
