Tannins and Related Polyphenols of Lythraceous Plants. Part2. Woodfordin D and Oenothein A, Trimeric Hydrolyzable Tannins of Macro-Ring Structure with Antitumor Activity.
trimeric hydrolyzable tannins, woodfordin D (5) and oenothein A (13), were isolated from the dried flowers of Woodfordia fruticosa, and their macrocyclicstructures, which have a novel constituent unit (woodfordinoyl group) connecting the monomers, have been elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence. Oenothein A (13) was also isolated from the leaves of Oenothera biennis.
A dimericellagitanningemin A (1), has been isolated from Geum japonicum Thunb., and its structure, which contains α- and β-glucosecores, has been elucidated.

Internal biaryl coupling reactions of carbohydrate derivatives carrying two 2-iodo-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl groups under Ullmann conditions were investigated. With substituents at positions 2,3 or 4,6 of a D-glucopyranoside, 2,3 of a D-mannopyranoside, and 3,4 of a D-galactopyranoside, the coupling was found to proceed with a very high degree of stereoselectivity, leading exclusively to the (S)-epimer of the resulting hexamethoxydiphenoyl residue from the D-gluco and D-galacto substrates, and to the (R)-epimer from the D-manno substrate. With substituents at positions 2,4 of D-glucopyranose derivatives in the C-1(4) conformation and at positions 5,6 of a D-glucofuranose derivative, the coupling proceeded efficiently but with modest stereoselectivity. Some deiodinated starting material was formed as a byproduct in all reactions. These results are relevant to ellagitannin chemistry in that they provide further understanding of the structural requirements for highly diastereoselective biaryl coupling within carbohydrate units. In addition, the efficient, complementary reactions of the D-manno and D-galacto substrates provide a method for the enantioselective synthesis of hexamethoxydiphenoic acid derivatives.

The ellagitannins are galloyl esters of glucose that contain at least one chiral biaryl (digalloyl) subunit. Included in this family are the tellimagrandins (1-3). The first asymmetric synthesis of (S)-4,4',5,5',6,6'-hexamethoxy-2,2'-diphenic acid, a ubiquitous subunit in ellagitannins, is reported by utilization of an intermolecular oxazoline-mediated asymmetric Ullmann coupling. Attachment of this acid to an appropriate glucose core resulted in the synthesis of an ellagitannin.

Tellimagrandin I was synthesized by two different biogenetically patterned routes. One route featured diastereoselective galloyl ester coupling between the O(4) and O(6) galloyl moieties in a glucose-derived substrate bearing additional protected galloyl groups on 0(2) and 0(3). The second route relied on a completely diastereoslective and regioselective Pb(OAc) 4 -based oxidative coupling exclusively
