Several members of the class of natural 'phlobaphene' condensed tannins, representing the products of C-ring isomerization of (-)-fisetinidol-(4α,8)-(-)-epicatechin profisetinidins have been characterized.These comprise four functionalized tetrahydropyranochromenes, two -analogues and four -regioisomers.A novel protocol of effecting differentiation between the regio-isomers based on homonuclear NOE difference spectroscopy (1H NMR) is proposed.The structures of some of the natural products were confirmed by synthesis via base-catalysed rearrangement of their presumed precursors.Under these mild alkaline conditions, the biflavanoids are susceptible to epimerization at C-2 (F-ring) hence leading to conversion of a (-)-epicatechin to a (-)-catechin DEF moiety.The natural occurence of pyran rearranged analogues related to both these units presumably reflects similar mechanisms for the in vivo and in vitro processes.

Free phenolic - and -2,3-trans-(-)-fisetinidol-(+)-catechin diastereoisomers of both 3,4-trans and 3,4-cis configuration, which serve as synthons for higher oligomers, are available in improved yields from direct condensation, and also via novel 6-iodo-(+)-catechin as an intermediate substrate.Acid-induced transformations of the predominant -all-trans isomer, illustrative of the well-known 'phlobaphene reaction' of condensed tannins, is shown to include ring-isomerization and fission of the inter-flavanoid bond, followed in the latter instance by the alternatives of anthocyanidin formation, positional rearrangement and self-condensation.
