The interaction of two IR chromophores yields a strong vibrational circular dichroism couplet whose sign reflects the absolute configuration of the molecule. We present a method to determine absolute configuration of a chiral molecule based on this couplet without need of theoretical calculation. Not only can this method analyze various molecules whose absolute configuration is difficult to determine by other spectroscopic methods, but also it can significantly enhance VCD signals.
Chemoselective C-4 aerobic oxidation of catechin derivatives catalyzed by the trametes villosa laccase/1-hydroxybenzotriazole system: Synthetic and mechanistic aspects

Catechin derivatives were oxidized in air in the presence of the Trametes villosa laccase/1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) system in buffered water/1,4-dioxane as reactionmedium. The oxidation products, flavan- 3,4-diols and the corresponding C-4 ketones, are

The phenolic methyl ethers of flavan-3-ols, 4-arylflavan-3-ols, and (-)-fisetinidol-(4,8)-(+)-catechin biflavanoids are susceptible to regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation at C-4 in moderate to high yields with potassium persulphate/cupric sulphate in aqueous acetonitrile.The resultant 4-functionalized analogues are of both synthetic and degradative significance in condensed tannin chemistry.
