Abstract: Procyanidin B1, B2, and B3 were synthesized based on a Yb(OTf)3 catalyzed equimolar condensation using methoxy and/or 4-(2-ethoxyethoxy) drivatives as electrophiles. The anti-inflammatory effect of synthetic procyanidin B1, B2, and B4 on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation of mouse ears was examined. Procyanidin B1, B2, B 4 suppressed TPA-induced inflammation of mouse ears by 48%, 34%, and 29%, respectively, at a dose of 200 μg. Their activities are stronger than those of indomethacin and glycyrrhetinic acid, the normally used antiinflammatory agent.
Synthesis of procyanidins by stepwise- and self-condensation using 3,4-cis-4-acetoxy-3-O-acetyl-4-dehydro-5,7,3′,4′-tetra-O-ben zyl-(+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin as a key building monomer

3,4-cis-4-Acetoxy-3-O-acetyl-4-dehydro-5,7,3′,4′-tetra-O-ben zyl-(+)-catechin (1a) or (-)-epicatechin (1b) reacted high regio- and stereo-selectively with 1.5 equiv of the 5,7,3′,4′-tetra-O-benzyloxyflavan-3-ol (4a or 4b) in the presence of 1 equiv of TMSOTf to give the corresponding procyanidins. On the other hand, the self-condensation of 1a in the presence of a catalytic amount of B(C6F5)3 afforded wide-range procyanidins from dimer to 15-mer like a biomass.
Synthetic studies of proanthocyanidins. Part 5.1 Highly stereoselective synthesis and inhibitory activity of Maillard reaction of 3,4-trans catechin and epicatechin dimers, procyanidin B1, B2, B3, B4 and their acetates

TMSOTf-catalyzed condensation of a potential electrophile with a nucleophile was achieved with a high level of 3,4-trans condensation, and we succeeded in the stereoselective synthesis of procyanidin B2 and its peracetate. Studies on the inhibitory activity of the Maillard reaction of four 3,4-trans series of catechin and epicatechin dimers, procyanidin B1, B2, B3 and B4, and their peracetates were also carried out.
