Comment: Catechin is a plant-derived flavonoid (from Acacia catechu, and cacao, grapes and tea plants). This entry represents the 2R,3S diastereoisomer, but 3 others are possible given that the molecule has two chiral centers. Catechin has relatively low antioxidant properties compared to other flavonoids.
