Abstract

We isolated two new flavan dimers, gambirflavan D3 (10) and gambirflavan D4 (12), together with gambiriin A3 (11), from gambir, a hot-water extract of the leaves and young twigs of Uncaria gambir. Because their spectral analyses suggested that they are derived from catechin, we conducted a conversion reaction using (+)-catechin (1) to produce these dimers; another new flavan, gambirflavan D5 (13), was obtained as a product of this reaction. The structural relationship of these dimeric flavans with (+)-catechin (1) is discussed.
