Approaches towards the synthesis of flavonoids

The biological and medicinal properties of flavonoids have prompted enormous research aimed at developing synthetic routes to these heterocyles. This review focuses on the general structures and classification, food sources, medicinal properties associated with this system. Various synthetic methods developed till now for these compounds are reviewed, particularly those related to the synthesis of flavanones, flavones, aurones, isoflavones and flavonols.
