A stereoselective synthesis of benzylated procyanidin-B3, a condensed catechin dimer, is described. Condensation of 5,7,3',4'-tetrabenzylcatechin with (2R,3S,4S)-5,7,31,4'-tetrabenzyloxy-3-acetoxy-4-methoxyflavan as an electrophile in the presence of TiCl4 led to octabenzylated procyanidin-B3 stereoselectively.
