1894 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 66 i. 47 Iridin undergoes hydrolysis when heated with dilute sulphuric acid at 80–100°, yielding d-glucose and irigenin... This substance crystallises in rhombohedra, melting at 186°.
1928 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 1925 These results prove that irigenin..is consequently 5:7:3′-trihydroxy-6:4′:5′-trimethoxyisoflavone.
1960 Tetrahedron Lett. No. 5. 9 The synthetic irigenin..was identical with the natural product.
