Flavan-3-ol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flavan-3-ols (sometimes referred to as flavanols) are a class of flavonoids that use the 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-3-ol skeleton. These compounds include the Catechins and the catechin gallates.
These compounds are not to be confused with flavonols, another class of flavonoids.
Flavanols are building blocks for proanthocyanidins.
