experimental part, p. 2544 - 2554 (2010/09/05)
The tetrabenzylated catechin 9 was prepared by benzylation of the commercially available pure (+)-catechin (3) and cou-pled with the commercially unavailable pentabenzylated (-)-gallocatechin 10, prepared in a one-step Mitsunobu-type cyclization of the triol 8. The highly stereoselective synthesis of benzylated prodelphinidins - catechin-(4α→8)-gallocate-chin (13), gallocatechin-(4α→8)-gallocatechin (14), and gallo-catechin- (4α→8)-catechin (15) - is reported for the first time. The ESI(+)-CID mass spectra of the coupling products were found to feature regioselective retro-Diels-Alder (RDA) reac-tions and unusual sequential losses of pairs of C7H7' radicals (182 u) from the Na+ adduct ions.

[reaction: see text]. Enantioselective synthesis of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG, 3b), the active polyphenol component from green tea, has been achieved by using a stereospecific cyclization of the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation product 7c as the key step.
