Optically pure (R)-arylmethylsuccinic acid mono-methyl esters were obtained efficiently by using the catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of arylidenesuccinic acid monoesters with a rhodium(I) complex of a chiral bisphosphine, (4S,5S)-MOD-DIOP.Asymmetric total syntheses of some naturally occurring lignans, (+)-collinusin, (-)-deoxypodophyllotoxin, and (+)-neoisostegane, were achieved via several steps from (R)-γ-butyrolactones as key intermediates obtained by reduction of (R)-arylmethylsuccinic acid mono methyl-esters.

Novel routes to 1-aryl-5,6-dialkoxy-1,3-dihydrobenzothiophene 2,2-dioxides (13) and to the corresponding benzofuran (8) have been developed; these species yield quinodimethanes (12) via thermal extrusion of SO2 and isobenzofurans (5c) in an acid-cat
