trans-α,β-Dibenzyl-γ-butyrolactone lignans were synthesized by stereoselective reduction of α-benzylidene-β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones using NaBH4-NiCl2. The reduction is found to proceed via conjugate addition of a hydride to an α-benz

The total synthesis of gomisin A and schizandrin having natural configurations were accomplished for the first time. The key feature of these syntheses is a highly efficient intramolecular oxidative coupling of the intermediates 9 and 21, which can be obtained as both enantiomers in optically pure forms. The manipulation of the lactone moieties of 7 and 22 afforded natural enantiomers of schizandrin and gomisin A.

Ruthenium (IV) dioxide dihydrate in fluoro acid medium was found to be a very efficient agent for the oxidative coupling of non phenolic lignans and their derivatives, and this method was applied to the total synthesis of (+/-)-neoisostegane 2a and (+/-)-steganolide A 2b. This procedure was also used to obtain the first stereospecific synthesis of a cis-bisbenzocyclooctadiene lactone, the (+/-)-deoxyschizandrin 17, of which, was afforded by a short reduction sequence.
