CijHjsO, Mr 222.37, colorless oil, bp. 160°C (17.9 - 10 Pa) soluble in ether and THF. It occurs in musk kernels, lime-tree blossoms. Acacia species and in essential oils. On account of its intense odor of lily of the valley it is used in the perfume and soap industries. F. acts as a pheroraone for bumblebees. Furthermore, F. diphosphate is the starting material for the...

The significance of flavan-3,4-diols in plants rests primarily on their probable role as precursors of the polymeric proanthocyanidins. Co-occurrence of the 5-deoxy compounds - i.e., quibourtacacidins, mollisacacidins, and robinetinidins - with the related proanthocyanidins in Acacia species and the ready synthesis of naturally occurring proanthocyanidins from reactions of these flavan-3,4-diols with catechin under mild acidic conditions constitutes heavy but not definitive evidence for this thesis (31, 315-317). 

All the known natural flavan-3,4-diols can be grouped in the classes of guibour-tacacidins (7,4 -dihydroxy), mollisacacidins (7,3, 4 -trihydroxy), robinetinidins (7,3, 4, 5 -tetrahydroxy), teracacidins (7,8,4 -trihydroxy), and melacacidins (7,8,3, 4 -tetrahydroxy). The vast majority of these compounds are found in the wood or bark of plants of the Leguminosae and particularly in the Acacia species. The distribution of these compounds is summarized in Table 7.6.7.
