Equal molar amounts of (+)-catechin and N-Hydroxymethylacetamide
were reacted under acidic conditions. Thin-layer
chromatography (TLC) was used to monitor the reaction.
The reaction products were isolated by column chromatography
using Sephadex LH-20 and elution with 95 percent ethanol.
Three reaction products isolated included one
disubstituted and two monosubstituted compounds. The...
