Isolicoflavonol(CAS: 94805-83-1)

Isolicoflavonol is a yellow crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 268.23 g/mol. It has a melting point of around 230°C and is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol. Isolicoflavonol exhibits stability under normal conditions but can react with acids and bases to form derivatives.

Isolicoflavonol can be synthesized through a series of steps involving condensation reactions, such as the condensation of 5,7-dihydroxyflavanone with 2-hydroxyacetophenone. Common catalysts include strong acids like sulfuric acid, with selectivity and yield around 80-90%.

Isolicoflavonol is used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential health benefits, particularly in the development of dietary supplements and functional foods. It is also employed in the cosmetic industry for skin care products. Additionally, it has applications in the food industry as a natural colorant and antioxidant.

Isolicoflavonol should be handled with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety goggles. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. In case of a spill, it should be cleaned up with appropriate absorbent materials and handled according to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
