A synthetic route to a biologically active glycosyl flavonoid, astilbin (1), was developed. The tetra-benzyl ether 4, derived from (+)-catechin, was glycosylated with the L-rhamnosyl donor 10 by using Cp2HfCl2-AgClO4, and subsequent oxidation of the C(4)position of the flavan skeleton followed by deprotection gave 1.

Cationic zirconocene- or hafnocene-based Lewis acids in organic synthesis: Glycoside-flavonoid analogy
Ohmori, Ken,Hatakeyama, Keisuke,Ohrui, Hiroki,Suzuki, Keisuke
, p. 1365 - 1373 (2007/10/03)
Cationic metallocene species, generated from Cp2MCl2 and AgClO4 (M=Zr, Hf), were used for the glycosylation of catechin derivative 2, enabling a concise synthesis of a glycosyl flavonoid, astilbin (1). Further study revealed the efficiency of this Lewis acidic species for SN1-type activation of the C(4) position of catechin derivative 11, enabling selective substitution with various nucleophiles.
