The total asymmetric syntheses of (-)-isolariciresinol dimethyl ether (6) and (-)-deoxysikkimotoxin (7) have been carried out, in an attempt to exploit a synthetic strategy recently developed for the synthesis of (-)-deoxypodophyllotoxin (1, R1 = -CH2-, Ar = 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl). In so doing, a generalized method for the synthesis of aryltetralin lignans has been developed that should be applicable to a variety of substitution patterns and stereochemistries. A one-pot, 100% regio-selective reduction-lactonization procedure has been developed for the conversion of the ester 18b to (-)-deoxysikkimotoxin, which gave 93% isolated yield in that step.

Oxidative coupling of deoxypodorhizon (4) with thallium(III) oxide and trifluoroacetic acid may be controlled to give either deoxyisopodophyllotoxin (14) or isostegane (16).These results and those with related non-phenolic substances indicate that the aromatic substituents of the parent diarylbutane play an important role in determining the outcome of oxidative coupling.
