Hf. Chen et al., TANNINS AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS .121. PHENYLPROPANOID-SUBSTITUTED CATECHINS FROM CASTANOPSIS-HYSTRIX AND STRUCTURE REVISION OF CINCHONAINS, Phytochemistry, 33(1), 1993, pp. 183-187
Two new and two known complex flavan-3-ols, containing an additional p
henylpropanoid (C6-C3) unit in the molecule, have been isolated from t
he leaves of Castanopsis hystrix. The structures including absolute st
ereochemistry were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence a
nd also by synthesis. In addition, comparison of the CD spectral data
of these compounds with those of previously known complex flavan-3-ols
, cinchonains, has led to the revision of their structures.
