A systematic synthesis of four natural epicatechin series procyanidin trimers 1[4,8:4",8"]-2,3-cis-3,4-trans: 2",3"-cis-3",4"-trans: 2"",3""-trans-(-)-epi-catechin-(-)-epicatechin-(+)-catechin, [4,8:4",8"]-2,3-cis-3,4-trans: 2",3"-cis-3",4"-trans: 2"",3""-cis-tri(-)-epicatechin: procyanidin C1, [4,8:4",8"]-2,3-cis-3,4-trans: 2",3"-trans-3",4"-trans: 2"",3""-trans-(-)-epicatechin-(+)-catechin-(+)-catechin: procyanidin C4, and [4,8:4",8"]-2,3-cis-3,4-trans: 2",3"-trans-3",4"-trans: 2"",3""-cis-(-)-epicatechin-(+)-catechin-(-)-epicatechin is described. Condensation of (2R,3R,4S)-5,7,3'4'-tetra-O-benzyl-4-(2"-ethoxyethyloxy)flavan derived from (-)-epicatechin as an electrophile with the dimeric nucleophiles in the presence of TMSOTf followed by deprotection yielded trimers. Inhibitory activities on the Maillard reaction and antioxidant activity on lipid peroxide of the synthesized oligomers were also investigated. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
