The condensation of (+)-leucocyanidin with (-)-epicatechin initiates a succession of substitutions leading mainly to the introduction of -2,3-trans-3,4-procyanidin units, but also to the incorporation of 'terminal' moieties which possess the hitherto unique 3,4-cis-procyanidin configuration.The bonding patterns in the products, and also the sequence of units in one of the 'trimers' of mixed stereochemistry, are resolved by (1)H n.m.r. spectroscopy through selective use of solvents at elevated temperatures.
Synthesis of Condensed Tannins. Part 12. Direct Access to - and -all-2,3-cis-Procyanidin Derivatives from (-)-Epicatechin: Assessment of Bonding Positions in Oligomeric Analogues from Crataegus oxyacantha L.

Synthesis of methyl ester acetates of - and -all-2,3-cis-procyanidin biflavanoids is effected by oxidative functionalization of (-)-epicatechin tetramethyl ester with lead tetra-acetate, and condensation of the resultant 2,3-cis-flavan-3,4-diol
