Aged red wine pigments as a source of inspiration for organic synthesis—the cases of the color-stable pyranoflavylium and flavylium-(4→8)-flavan chromophores
摘要:
Two flavylium-based chromophores peculiar to aged red wine pigments are investigated from a synthetic viewpoint. The condensation between easy-to-prepare 5-hydroxy-4-methylflavylium salts and aldehydes, giving birth to color-stable pyranoflavylium pigments, further proves efficient and wide in scope. A set of some twenty structurally-related flavylium-based pigments has been prepared and structure:color relationships are discussed. Furthermore, the synthesis of the flavylium-(4 -> 8)-flavan chromophore is achieved via a novel three-step sequence. The elaborated sequence starts with an iodine magnesium exchange from an 8-iodinated flavan, thus generating a magnesiated species that then smoothly reacts with a flavone to furnish an adduct, that finally leads to the expected chromophore via dehydration.
