Benzylic oxidation of catechine has been performed using either DDQ or Ce(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonate as oxidizing agent. These procedures allowed the efficient synthesis of taxifolin 3 in a high overall yield.
Keywords: Proanthocyanidins, alkylation reactions, hemisynthesis, NMR, pentabenzylated catechin
