Abstract
This chapter will treat three small groups of flavonoids: chalcones, dihydrochalcones and aurones. In the case of chalcones and aurones, placing them together in the same chapter reflects their traditional treatment as ‘anthochlor’ pigments. This term was originally coined to identify a group of yellow pigments which turned red in the presence of alkali. It was not until many years later that anthochlor pigments were found to consist of two discrete chemical types. Although a review devoted to the aurone glycosides alone recently appeared (Farkas and Pallos, 1967), the discussion of the two types together seems justifiable in view of the common occurrence in nature of chalcone-aurone pairs. Despite their close biochemical relationships, the rapidly expanding chalcone literature may make a separation necessary again in the future.
