Abstract

The progressive oxidative transformations in the biogenesis of hydrolyzable tannins, gallotannin (I) → ellagitannin (II) → dehydro ellagitannin (III) → transformed dehydroellagitannin (IV), conform in several aspects to the evolutionary routes in the subclasses of Dicotyledonae, particularly in the Rosidae.
