Abstract

Abstract Flavonoid structures, found in nature or obtained by synthesis, may be very complex. These Recommendations provide a guide for flavonoid aglycone names. This will also allow the construction of the names for their polyglycosylated species with clarity and conciseness. A joint working party of IUPAC/IUBMB members has prepared these recommendations, which establish rules for the general nomenclature of flavonoids, providing examples of acceptable trivial names, and names derived from trivial names, together with semi-systematic and fully systematic names that follow the published IUPAC recommendations.
