Reaction of the laterally lithiated (S)-4-isopropyl-2-(2-methoxy-6-methylphenyl)oxazoline with p-tolualdehyde gave an inseparable mixture of the addition products in low diastereoselectivity. However, the (S,S)-product cyclized to the corresponding 3,4-di

(S)-[4-Methoxy-3-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]phenyl)oxirane (prepared from isovanillin by consecutive silylation, olefination, Sharpless asymmetric cis-dihydroxylation, and dehydration) reacted with [3-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl]lithium (prepared from 3-bromophenol by consecutive methoxymethylation and bromine-lithium exchange) to yield (R)-1-[4-methoxy-3-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]phenyl)2-[3-(methoxymethoxy )phenyl]ethanol. The last compound underwent selective hydrogen-metal exchange with excess of butyllithium affording (after carbonation, lactonization, and deprotection of phenolic groups) the title compound [(R)-3,4-dihydro-8-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxy-3-hydroxyphenyl)isocoumarin].
Enantiodifferentiation in taste perception of the phyllodulcins

Both enantiomers of phyllodulcin 1 have been prepared. Ester 2 was synthesized in a Wittig reaction from O-benzyl isovanillin. The corresponding stilbene carboxylic acid 3 could be cyclized with CF3CO2H to produce the 3'-benzyl ether
