The C-13 NMR spectra of polyhydroxyflavones were systematically examined by using about 70 examples which have a 4-methoxyphenyl B-ring, such as 5,6,7-, 5,7,8 and 5,6,8-trioxygenated and 5,6,7,8-tetraoxygenated flavones and flavonols, and the following results were obtained. In the C-13 NMR spectra of flavones, the signals at the 2-, 3- and 4-positions in the C-ring were hardly affected by the substituents on the A-ring except for those at the 5-position and shifted regularly by introduction of a methoxy or hydroxy group at the 3-position. The signals at the 5- to 10-positions in the A-ring were greatly affected by the substituents and oxygenated patterns on the A-ring and exhibited the respective characteristic pattern reflecting the A-ring substituents without the effects of the substituents on the B- and C-rings. The substituent effects on the A-ring were estimated from the spectral data. Consequently, it is found that the structures of polyhydroxyflavones can be correctly defined by their C-13 NMR spectral assignment. Additionally, we examined the structures of some natural flavones previously reported. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
