Abstract

AbstractThe idea that foods consumed for pure pleasure could provide health benefits received much recognition in the recent years. Among these foods, cocoa and dark chocolate are particularly rich in procyanidins, one of the major dietary families of polyphenols. We developed the first asymmetric total synthesis of procyanidin B2 and applied it to the preparation of a regioselectively radiolabeled 14C‐analogue, which will be used to strengthen our knowledge on the metabolism of procyanidins.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
