Definition
Leucocyanidin, also known as 3,3',4,4',5,7-flavanhexol or resivit, is a member of the class of compounds known as catechins. Catechins are compounds containing a catechin moiety, which is a 3,4-dihydro-2-chromene-3,5.7-tiol. Thus, leucocyanidin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Leucocyanidin is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Leucocyanidin can be found in a number of food items such as climbing bean, black mulberry, corn salad, and caraway, which makes leucocyanidin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Leucocyanidin is a colorless chemical compound that is a member of the class of natural products known as leucoanthocyanidins .
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as catechins. Catechins are compounds containing a catechin moiety, which is a 3,4-dihydro-2-chromene-3,5.7-Tiol.
