Vv. Platonov et al., Genetic relationship of flavonoids from extracts and semocoking tars of lignite with the initial vegetable matter, RUS J AP CH, 72(6), 1999, pp. 1068-1074
A genetic relationship of flavonoids from extracts and semocoking tars of l
ignites mined at the near-Moscow and Kansk-Achinsk fields with flavonoids o
f vegetable origin is revealed. Paleoreconstruction of the possible species
of the initial vegetable matter from which the organic matter of these lig
nites had originated, is performed, and possible schemes of transformations
of the initial natural flavonoids under conditions of lignite formation an
d in the course of semicoking are presented.
