Z-Isomers of (4α→6″, 2α→O→1″)-phenylflavan substituted with R′=R=OH. Conformational properties, electronic structure and aqueous solvent effects
Procyanidins are highly hydroxylated polymers known as antioxidant compounds, thereby exhibiting beneficial effects. These compounds are protective agents against oxidative stress and the damage induced by free radicals in membranes and nucleic acids. This paper describes a study of the conformation...

Procyanidins are highly hydroxylated polymers known as antioxidant compounds, thereby exhibiting beneficial effects. These compounds are protective agents against oxidative stress and the damage induced by free radicals in membranes and nucleic acids. This paper describes a study of the conformational space of (4α→6″, 2α→O→1″)-phenylflavan substituted with R′=R=OH as part of a larger study of similar structures with different substitutions. The relationships between aqueous solution–vacuum variations of some properties were studied, as well as the stabilization and reactivity of (4α→6″, 2α→O→1″)-phenylflavan substituted with R′=R=H, R′=H, R=OH, R′=R=OH, and (+)-catechin. The variations in geometric parameters and electronic properties due to conformational changes, as well as the effects of substituents and polar solvents, were evaluated and analyzed. Bader’s theory of atoms in molecules was applied to characterize intramolecular interactions, along with a natural bond orbital analysis for each conformer described.
