Abstract: | Structures of two condensation products obtained by the reaction of cinnamaldehyde with (+)-catechin were determined by spectroscopic methods. One had two phenylpropanoid units at the C-6 and C-8 positions of the catechin skeleton. The other product had a dimeric structure with two catechin and two phenylpropanoid units. Matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometric analysis of the reaction products of cinnamaldehyde with procyanidin B1 suggested that procyanidins were oligomerized in a manner similar to the reaction with catechin. Furthermore, (13)C NMR spectral comparison of the condensation products with the polymeric procyanidins obtained from commercial cinnamon bark strongly suggested that the procyanidins in the cinnamon bark also were polymerized by reaction with cinnamaldehyde. |
