However, we reexamined the reduction of rutin under HCl-MeOH with zinc amalgam, zinc powder, or magnesium powder to obtain cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside in less than 30% yield at the optimized condition. This might be due to the fact that the value of the molar absorption coefficients for cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside reported by Elhabiri et al. (7000 at 510 nm) is too low compared to the theoretical value (around 20 000 in our results); therefore, they miscalculated the yield.

18. In previous studies, the authors did not isolate anthocyanidins but reported the observation of red coloration or identification of visible absorption spectra using a reaction mixture. All the experiments were conducted with leucoanthocyanidin or flaven-3-ol without any glycosyl residues: (a) Sweeny, J. G.; Iacobucci, G. A. Tetrahedron 1977, 33, 2923-2926.

36. In general, the phenolic TBS group is relatively stable in acidic conditions, but we found that the TBS group of polyphenols such as flavonoides was deprotected easily from our preliminary experiments: Davies, J.
