Synthesis of procyanidins by stepwise- and self-condensation using 3,4-cis-4-acetoxy-3-O-acetyl-4-dehydro-5,7,3′,4′-tetra-O-benzyl-(+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin as a key building monomer

3,4-cis-4-Acetoxy-3-O-acetyl-4-dehydro-5,7,3',4'-tetra-O-benzyl-(+)-catechin (1a) or (-)-epicatechin (1b) reacted high regio- and stereo-selectively with 1.5 equiv of the 5,7,3',4'-tetra-O-benzyloxyflavan-3-ol (4a or 4b) in the presence of 1 equiv of TMSOTf to give the corresponding procyanidins. On the other hand, the self-condensation of la in the presence of a catalytic amount of B(C6F5)(3) afforded wide-range procyanidins from dimer to 15-mer like a biomass. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
