Development of a New Synthetic Strategy for Procyanidin Dimer Condensation Using Peracetylated Electrophiles
摘要:
Proanthocyanidins, also known as condensed tannins and/or oligomeric flavonoids, are found in many edible plants and show interesting various biological activities. We report a simple new proanthocyanidin synthesis strategy in which an electrophile derived from a flavan-3-ol peracetate is condensed with 1.5 eq. of a benzylated nucleophile. We demonstrate here the synthesis of procyanidin B1, a (-)-epicatechin-(4 beta-8)-(+)-catechin dimer, to demonstrate the utility of this method. This strategy is applicable for the synthesis of various commercially available flavan-3-ol and various oligomeric flavonoids.

Improved processes for the preparation of tetra-O-benzyl protected catechin, for the coupling of the tetra-O-benzyl protected catechin or epicatechin with a C-4 activated, tetra-O-benzyl protected epicatechin for the galloylation of the epicatechin-(4β,8)-catechin or -epicatechin dimer-the dimer digallates, and for the deprotection (i.e., debenzylation) of the protected epicatechin dimers and protected epicatechin dimer digallates are disclosed.
