The flavanones, a type of flavonoids, are various aromatic, colorless ketones derived from flavone that often occur in plants as glycosides.
List of flavanones
- Blumeatin
- Butin
- Dichamanetin
- Eriodictyol
- Hesperetin
- Hesperidin
- Homoeriodictyol
- Isosakuranetin
- Naringenin
- Naringin
- Pinocembrin
- Poncirin
- Sakuranetin

Metabolism
The enzyme chalcone isomerase uses a chalcone-like compound to produce a flavanone.
Flavanone 4-reductase is an enzyme that uses (2S)-flavan-4-ol and NADP to produce (2S)-flavanone, NADPH, and H.
Synthesis
Numerous methods exist for the enantioselective chemical and biochemical synthesis of flavanones and related compounds.
