PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF (+)-CATECHIN AND (-)-EPICATECHIN

Despite the well known fact that photolysis of free phenolic catechins give rise to isomerisation at the C-2 position (e.g. (-)-cis epicatechin converts to the sterically less hindered (-)-trans isomer), researchers have failed to isolate any ring opened compounds via trapping of intermediates with...
