The Synthesis of Methylated Epigallocatechin Gallate

摘要

Synthesis of methylated epigallocatechin gallate from (-)-epigallocatechin gallate and propylgallate was accomplished using a benzyl (Bn) group as a protecting group for phenols. This methodology provided (-)-epigallocatechin-3-(4-O-methylgallate), which are naturally scarce catechin derivatives.
