Mesquitol

[1] Prosopis juliflora, an invasive New World mesquite now found in Kenya, has unusually high levels of (-)-mesquitol in its heartwood.

[2] Mesquitol, with its pyrogallol-type A-ring, is more susceptible to quinone formation at this ring, leading to aryl–aryl bond formation at carbon 5.

The structural moieties constitute the proteracacinidin class of proanthocyanidins.

[3] Mesquitol-(5→8)-catechin atropisomers can be isolated from Prosopis glandulosa.
