Isolation of key intermediates during formation of oolongtheanins
摘要:
Oolongtheanin-3'-O-gallate (2b) was obtained by treatment of (-)-EGCg (1d) with CuCl2. This transformation was achieved over three steps, with the isolation of two intermediates; their chemical structures were determined through derivatization reactions, MS, and 1D/2D NMR techniques. One intermediate was identified as dehydrotheasinensin A (3); the other was identified as the novel dimer pro-oolongtheanin-3'-O-gallate (6). Compound 3 was converted to 6 by heating in aprotic solvent, and compound 6 was converted to 2b by addition of water. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The synthesis of oolongtheanins (1a-d) was accomplished from EGC and/or EGCg in three steps. Oolongtheanin-3'-O-gallate (1b) showed more potent inhibitory activity on micellar cholesterol solubility than did EGCg. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
