Gallic acid (GA) is a natural polyphenol with remarkable antioxidant power present in several vegetables and fruits. A normal feeding regime leads to a daily intake of GA which is reasonably regarded as “natural” and “safe” for humans. It owns strong pote

C-glucosidic ellagitannins constitute a subclass of bioactive polyphenolic natural products with strong antioxidant properties, as well as promising antitumoral and antiviral activities that are related to their capacity to interact with both functional and structural proteins. To date, most synthetic efforts toward ellagitannins have concerned glucopyranosic species. The development of a synthetic strategy to access C-glucosidic ellagitannins, whose characteristic structural feature includes an atropoisomeric hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) or a nonahydroxyterphenoyl (NHTP) unit that is linked to an open-chain glucose core by a C-aryl glucosidic bond, is described herein. The total synthesis of the biarylic HHDP-containing 5-O- desgalloylepipunicacortein A (1 β) was achieved by either using the natural ellagic acid bis-lactone as a precursor of the requested HHDP unit or by implementing an atroposelective intramolecular oxidative biarylic coupling to forge this HHDP unit. Both routes converged in the penultimate step of this synthesis to enable a biomimetic formation of the key C-aryl glucosidic bond in the title compound.
Selective cleavage of tert-butyldimethylsilylethers ortho to a carbonyl group by ultrasound

A general method for the selective cleavage of tert- butyldimethylsilylethers ortho to a carbonyl group is established by sonication of a 0.1 M solution of the substrate in 1/1 (v/v) CH3OH/CCl4. Other phenolic tert-butyldimethylsilylethers are unaffected. This reaction performed on flavanoids is completed within 3 h and no special workup is required. Other substrates are also investigated and a mechanism is proposed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Probing the Role of Polyphenol Oxidation in Mediating Insect-Pathogen Interactions. Galloyl-Derived Electrophilic Traps for the Lymantria dispar Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus Matrix Protein Polyhedrin

Galloyl-derived orthoquinone probes have been designed, synthesized, and utilized in an ongoing study of insect-pathogen interactions. A stable galloyl-derived orthoquinone O-methyl ether modified with both acidic and fluorescent appendages was successful in trapping the model nucleophile cysteine, a test protein bearing a single cysteine residue, and the viral occlusion body matrix protein polyhedrin from Lymantria dispar nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdNPV), a pathogen of the gypsy moth caterpillar (GMc). This latter observation may be related to the molecular mechanism by which gallotannins decrease LdNPV infectivity in GMc's. Sufficient site isolation was not achieved with a polymer-bound reactive galloyl hydroxyorthoquinone electrophile to permit similar nucleophile trapping to compete with oligomerization.
