Aromadendrin (aromodendrin or dihydrokaempferol) is a flavanonol, a type of flavonoid. It can be found in the wood of Pinus sibirica.

== Biosynthesis == Flavonoid biosynthesis in plants uses a phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway in which the amino acid phenylalanine is converted to 4-coumaroyl-CoA. This is combined with three units of malonyl-CoA to yield a group of compounds called chalcones, which contain two phenyl rings. In the main pathway, the enzymes chalcone synthase and chalcone isomerase produce (S)-naringenin which is the immediate precursor for aromadendrin.
