“…From a literature review, it is evident that DFT has been used to aid in structural assignments and to augment naturally elucidated structures by calculating their spectroscopic and electronic properties . Several literature reports are available on different classes of flavonoids with extensive DFT analysis of these compounds . The current study reports a comprehensive theoretical analysis of two recently reported flavanols (Figure ), (8 S ,9 R )‐9,10‐dihydro‐5,9‐dihydroxy‐8‐(3,4,5‐trimethoxyphenyl)‐2 H ,8 H ‐benzo[1,2‐ b :3,4‐ b ']dipyran‐2‐one ( 1 ) and (2 S ,3 R )‐3,4‐dihydro‐3,5‐dihydroxy‐2‐(3,4,5‐trimethoxyphenyl)‐2 H ,8 H ‐benzo[1,2‐ b :3,4‐ b ']dipyran‐8‐one ( 2 ) .…”
