FLAVAN-3-OL AND PROCYANIDIN GLYCOSIDES FROM QUERCUS MIYAGII
Ishimaru, Kanji,Nonaka, Gen-Ichiro,Nishioka, Itsuo
, p. 1167 - 1170 (1987)
A chemical examination of the leaves and bark of Quercus miyagii has led to the isolation and characterization of two flavan-3-ol glycosides and two procyanidin rhamnosides in which the sugar residue is located at C-3. - Key Word Index: Quercus miyagii; Fagaceae; flavan-3-ol glycosides; procyanidin rhamnosides; catechin; tannin.
SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROCYANIDIN DIMERS AS THEIR PERACETATES AND OCTAMETHYL ETHER DIACETATES
Kolodziej, Herbert
, p. 1209 - 1216 (2007/10/02)
Key Word Index - Biomimetic synthesis; procyanidins B1-B8; 3,4-cis-biflavanoid; all--bi--(+)-catechin; 1H NMR parameters. Condensation of (2R,3S,4R or S)-leucocyanidin or the 5,7,3',4'-tetramethyl ether of (2R,3R,4S)-leucocyanidin with flavan-3-ols yielded dimeric flavanoids which were converted to their octamethyl ether diacetates, or the deca-acetates for the 2,3-trans-procyanidin series.Comparison is made of the 1H NMR spectra of the deca-acetate and octamethyl ether diacetate derivatives which lead to useful diagnostic shift parameters characteristic of their structures.Condensation afforded a novel biflavanoid with a 3,4-cis-configuration and a triflavanoid of 'mixed' stereochemistry.
Synthesis of Condensed Tannins. Part 4. A Direct Biomimetic Approach to - and -Biflavanoids
Botha, Jacobus, J.,Ferreira, Daneel,Roux, David G.
, p. 1235 - 1245 (2007/10/02)
The generation of flavanyl-4-carbo-cations from flavan-3,4-diols and their condensation with nucleophilic flavan-3-ols to form - and -biflavanoids at ambient temperatures and mildly acidic aqueous conditions apparently simulates the initial step in condensed tannin formation in a number of natural sources.The stereospecificity (or stereoselectivity) of the reaction is conditioned mainly by the 2,3-cis or 2,3-trans stereochemistry of the parent flavan-3,4-diol, but also by the nuclephilicity of the flavan-3-ol, and its regiospecific (or regioselective) course by steric factors arising from variation in substitution of the receptive A-ring of the flavan-3-ol.
