Definition

ChEBI: (S)-naringenin is the (S)-enantiomer of naringenin. It has a role as an expectorant and a plant metabolite. It is a naringenin and a (2S)-flavan-4-one. It is a conjugate acid of a (S)-naringenin(1-). It is an enantiomer of a (R)-naringenin.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from EtOH or aqueous EtOH. It has UV: at 290nm (EtOH). The S(-)-enantiomer (natural form) has m 255-256o (from EtOH) and [] D -28.0o (c 2, EtOH), [] D -35.2o (c 1, pyridine).
