Summary
1. Sodium acetate ionizes the 7-hydroxy group in flavones, flavonols, and flavanones, and the 4-hydroxy group in chalcones, causing a considerable bathochromic displacement of the absorption maximum of the long-wave band. In isoflavones containing a free 7-hydroxy group a bathochromic displacement of the absorption maximum of the medium-wave part of the spectrum is found.
2. A spectroscopic method using zirconyl nitrate and citric acid for detecting free hydroxy groups in positions 3 and 5 in flavonoids when they are present together and separately has been developed.
