Abstract

Lewis acid mediated self-condensation of epicatechin gallate derivative was examined. We found that Yb(OTf)3 afforded good yield of the dimeric epicatechin gallate derivative. The condensed product was applied to the synthesis of procyanidin B2 3,3′′-digallate.

  • 16 Typical Experimental Procedure To a solution of 4 (50 mg, 0.043 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4.3 mL) was added Yb(OTf)3 (80 mg, 0.13 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 18 h. After the reaction had been completed, water (20 mL) was added to the mixture. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 mL). EtOAc layer was washed with water, brine, and dried with anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvents were evaporated, and the residue was purified with PTLC (hexane/EtOAc/CH2Cl2, 10:1:5) to afford 3 (36 mg, 74%) as a colorless oil. [α]16 D –42 (c 1.00, CHCl3).
