Free phenolic - and -2,3-trans-(-)-fisetinidol-(+)-catechin diastereoisomers of both 3,4-trans and 3,4-cis configuration, which serve as synthons for higher oligomers, are available in improved yields from direct condensation, and also via novel 6-iodo-(+)-catechin as an intermediate substrate.Acid-induced transformations of the predominant -all-trans isomer, illustrative of the well-known 'phlobaphene reaction' of condensed tannins, is shown to include ring-isomerization and fission of the inter-flavanoid bond, followed in the latter instance by the alternatives of anthocyanidin formation, positional rearrangement and self-condensation.

The relative contributions of nucleophilicity and steric hindrance in determining the course of the reacition during the formation of 'angular' triflavonoids are examined by biomimetic-type condensations involving model compounds.Key Word Index - (4,6)-(-)-fisetinidol-8-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-(+)-catechins; 4-(3-ethyl-2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)-3,3',4',7-tetrahydroxyflavans; (4,3:4,5)-bi--ethyl phloroglucinols; condensed tannins; nucleophilicity; steric hindrance.
