Prorobinetidin

Prorobinetidins are a type of condensed tannins formed from robinetinidol.

They form robinetinidin when depolymerized under oxidative conditions.

Mimosa and quebracho tannins are, according to a comparative 13C NMR study of polyflavonoids, found to be predominantly profisetinidin/prorobinetidin-type tannins.

[1] Stryphnodendron adstringens ( the barbatimão), a species of legume found in Brazil, produces prorobinetinidins in its stem bark.
