Group 2B Metabolites

It is noticable that the major biosynthetic thrust in these plants is towards the formation of these dimers and trimers (Table 7.2.4). Thus, for example, in the 

Further examples of this type of polyphenolic structure in which molecular complexity and size are increased by oxidative coupling of two or more glucose derivatives (35 - 39) by formation of new C-O bonds are shown in Thble 7.2.6.
