Theaflavins are reddish-orange black tea pigments with a benzotropolone chromophore, and their various biological activities have been reported. Theaflavins are produced by oxidative coupling between catechol-type and pyrogallol-type catechins via bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-type intermediates. In this study, a new method for nonenzymatic biomimetic synthesis of theaflavins was developed using the DPPH radical as an oxidizing agent.
