title: Synthesis of Arecatannin A1 from Dimeric Epicatechin Electrophile.
abstract: Synthesis of arrecatannin A1 (1) was accomplished from dimeric epicatechin electrophile, which was prepared by Zn(OTf)2 mediated self-condensation, and monomeric catechin nucleophile. The condensation was successfully worked using Yb(OTf)3 as a Lewis acid in good yield.
