Combined with Aurone. Aurones are chemical compounds belonging to the flavonoids, a type of polyphenolic compounds and derived from the aurone chemical structure. In aurones, chalcone closes into a 5 instead of the 6 atoms ring (C ring), more typical of flavonoids.
Aurones are plant flavonoids that provide yellow color to the flowers of some popular ornamental plants, such as snapdragon and cosmos. Aurones can also be found in the brown alga Spatoglossum variabile (4'-chloro-2-hydroxyaurone, formula C15H11O3Cl and 4'-chloroaurone, formula C15H9O2Cl).
Most of aurones are in Z configuration, which is a more stable conformation according to Austin Model 1 computation, but there are also some in E configurations ((E)-3'-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-4,5,6,4'-tetrahydroxy-7,2'-dimethoxyaurone) found in Gomphrena agrestis.
Analogy with flavonoids suggests that aurones could have interesting biological properties.
