摘要
Enzymatic oxidation of (-)-epigallocatechin gave two new quinone dimers, dehydrotheasinensin C and proepitheaflagallin. Dehydrotheasinensin C has a hydrated cyclohexenetrione structure and its oxidation-reduction dismutation reaction yielded black tea polyphenols, theasinensins C and E, and desgalloyl oolongtheanin. The structure of proepitheaflagallin was determined based on spectroscopic data of its quinoxaline derivatives prepared by condensation with o-phenylenediamine. Proepitheaflagallin was decomposed on heating to give epitheaflagallin and hydroxytheaflavin. The former is a known black tea pigment and the latter is a new pigment with 1',2,3'-trihydroxy-3,4-benzotropolone moiety. The results revealed a new mechanism for the production of these pigments from epigallocatechin. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
