Abstract

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.
