A short, diastereospecific approach to symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane lignans
Abstract
Enolate Claisen rearrangement of the lactone 7 leads to the tetrahydrofuran (THF) ester 9 as a single diastereoisomer, reduction of which gives the general bis-THF lignan precursor 2.
