Elucidating the chemical structure of black tea thearubigins

A solid-phase synthesis protocol was developed, that enabled phenol-protected (-)-epicatechin, and (-)-epigallocatechin to be selectively linked to functionalised resins, as a method to investigate the mechanism of catechin oxidation, which during black tea manufacturing, leads to the ubiquitous and...
