Theoretical study of Z isomers of A-type dimeric proanthocyanidins substituted with R=H, OH and OCH3 : stability and reactivity properties

The stereochemistry of A-type dimeric proantho- cyanidins was studied, focusing on the factors that determine it, and the changes that occur with R = OCH3, R′ = H, and R = OH, R′ = H as substituents, starting with the study of the conformational space of each species. Using molecular dynamics...
