A highly regio- and stereoselective Heck reaction of iodoarenes with vinylated malonates, generated in situ by fluoride-induced protiodesilylation of alkenylsilanols/disiloxanes to give functionalized styrenes and 1,4-diaryl-1-butenes has been developed. The dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan skeletons have been achieved from 1,4-diaryl-1-butenes by two routes involving diastereoselective radical cyclization as the key step. This strategy has successfully been applied in the synthesis of (±)-matairesinol. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2007.
