Abstract

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) have a variety of biological functions, but the formation of 4,8-interflavan bonds faces scaling-up difficulties due to the challenging control of stereoselectivity and the degree of polymerization. Here we report a process to produce procyanidin B3 (1) by mainly optimizing the condensation reaction and improving benzylation, C4 activation, and one-pot hydrogenolysis reactions. In an optimized seven-step process, the product 1 was achieved by only one-step chromatography in the case of poor crystallinity of polyphenols. This strategy provided effective access to the stereoselective synthesis of the title compound and other C4–C8 connected OPCs.

优化原花青素 B3 的制备：4,8-间黄烷键的革兰氏级立体选择性形成策略

低聚原花青素（OPCs）具有多种生物功能，但由于立体选择性和聚合度的控制极具挑战性，4,8-互花黄素键的形成面临着扩大规模的困难。在此，我们报告了一种生产原花青素 B3（1）的工艺，该工艺主要优化了缩合反应，并改进了苄基化、C4 活化和一锅氢解反应。在优化的七步工艺中，当多酚结晶度较低时，只需一步色谱法就能得到产物 1。这一策略为立体选择性合成标题化合物和其他 C4-C8 连接的 OPC 提供了有效途径。

期刊介绍： The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools，process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
