Abstract

This article compiles our results in the field of flavonoid chemistry with the aim to synthesise isotopically labelled products. Two strategies (C6 + C3-C6 vs C6-C2 + C1-C6) and some organometallic (Pd0, MoIV) couplings were explored to build the C6-C3-C6 flavonoid skeleton. Following this work, the gram scale has been reached in addition to the asymmetry of the targeted natural flavan-3-ols, i.e. (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, and (-)-procyanidin B3. These characteristics were necessary in the event of using these molecules for pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies in human beings.
