Am. Balde et al., PROANTHOCYANIDINS FROM STEM BARK OF PAVETTA-OWARIENSIS .3. NMR-STUDY OF ACETYLATED TRIMERIC PROANTHOCYANIDINS POSSESSING A DOUBLY-LINKED STRUCTURE, Journal of natural products, 56(7), 1993, pp. 1078-1088
The H-1- and C-13-nmr chemical shifts of the acetylated trimeric proan
thocyanidins of Pavetta owariensis, possessing a doubly-linked structu
re, have been assigned by 2D and proton decoupling nmr experiments. Pa
vetannin B4, a new trimer, has been identified as epicatechin-(4beta--
>6, a-->O-->7)-ent-epicatechin-(4beta-->8)-epicatechin 5! by spectros
copic analysis of its acetate.
