6-Hydroxykaempferol 3,6-dimethylether

5,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,6-dimethoxy-4H-chromen-4-one

C17H14O7 (330.0739)


6-hydroxykaempferol 3,6-dimethylether, also known as 4,5,7-trihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxyflavone, is a member of the class of compounds known as 6-o-methylated flavonoids. 6-o-methylated flavonoids are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C6 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, 6-hydroxykaempferol 3,6-dimethylether is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. 6-hydroxykaempferol 3,6-dimethylether is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 6-hydroxykaempferol 3,6-dimethylether can be found in sweet cherry, which makes 6-hydroxykaempferol 3,6-dimethylether a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
