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.

Stereoselective synthesis of catechin and epicatechin dimers under intermolecular condensation is achieved by an equimolar amount of coupling catalyzed by Yb(OTf)3. The coupled products were successfully converted to procyanidin B1, B2, B3, and B4.
