Regioselective hydrolysis of pentaacetyl catechin and epicatechin by porcine liver esterase.
3,5,7,3',4'-Pentaacetyl catechin was selectively hydrolyzed to either 3,7,3',4'-tetraacetyl catechin or 3-acetyl catechin depending upon the duration of hydrolysis. A similar result was also obtained in the epicatechin series.
