Procyanidin A2 is a A type proanthocyanidin.

It can be found in horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum),[1] in cranberry juice concentrate,[2] in peanut[2] skins[3] in Cinchona cinchona and Cinchona pubescens rind, bark and cortex, in Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon cinnamon) rind, bark and cortex, in the fruit of Persea americana (avocado or alligator pear),[4] in Urvillea ulmaceae,[5] and in Ecdysanthera utilis.[6]

Synthesis

Procyanidin B2 can be converted into procyanidin A2 by radical oxidation using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals under neutral conditions.[7]
