Flavonoids are a well-known family of natural polyphenols because of their prevalent properties in the physiological and medicinal field. In addition to a plethora of natural flavonoids, the construction of flavonoid skeletons still situates at the convergence point in the medicinal chemistry. Not surprisingly, amplification in the organic synthetic protocols showcases an expected avenue for accessing to abundant flavonoid scaffolds with special pharmacological activities. Hence, it is necessary to address the recent progresses in the synthesis of flavonoids by using organic strategies, and some typical protocols on the construction of flavonoids are thereby collected from recent publications (from 2020). The synthetic strategies presented herein are mainly cataloged as the cyclization of 4-chromanone, the glycosylation on the flavonoid scaffold, and the application of flavonoids in the pharmacological researches, aiming at providing with a current picture for depicting the recent progress on the synthesis of flavonoids. Therefore, it is expected to be a reference for the further exploration on the designing of synthetic routines for flavonoids.
类黄酮是众所周知的天然多酚家族,因为它们在生理和医学领域具有广泛的特性。除了大量的天然类黄酮外,类黄酮骨架的构建仍然处于药物化学的交汇点。毫不奇怪,有机合成方案的扩充为获得具有特殊药理活性的丰富类黄酮支架提供了一条预期途径。因此,有必要利用有机策略来解决类黄酮合成的最新进展,并且从最近的出版物(2020 年起)中收集了一些关于类黄酮构建的典型方案。本文提出的合成策略主要分类为 4-色满酮的环化、类黄酮骨架的糖基化以及类黄酮在药理学研究中的应用,旨在为描绘类黄酮合成的最新进展提供一个当前的图景。因此,它有望成为进一步探索类黄酮合成路线设计的参考。
