The microbial transformation of (+)-catechin (1) and (-)-epicatechin (2) by endophytic fungi isolated from a tea plant was investigated. It was found that the endophytic filamentous fungus Diaporthe sp. transformed them (1, 2) into the 3,4-cis-dihydroxyflavan derivatives, (+)-(2R,3S,4S)-3,4,5,7,3′,4′- hexahydroxyflavan (3) and (-)-(2R,3R,4R)-3,4,5,7,3′,4′-hexahydroxy- flavan (7), respectively, whereas (-)-catechin (ent-1) and (+)-epicatechin (ent-2) with a 2S-phenyl group resisted the biooxidation.

Solvent effects on the stereochemistry in the sodium borohydride reduction of (+/-)-flavanonols have been examined.The effects observed for the (+/-)-flavanonols with 5-OMe in 2-propanol, dioxane and methanol are explainable by the differences between the steric interactions inherent in the product-like transition states A and B.It has been also found that 5-OAc peculiarly affects the stereochemistry in the reduction to produce the (+/-)-catechin-type compounds in a one-pot process.The solvent and temperature effects are examined using a model analogous to the above.
