A short synthetic route to nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and its stereoisomer using Ti-induced carbonyl-coupling reaction
Gezginci, Mikail H,Timmermann, Barbara N
, p. 6083 - 6085 (2007/10/03)
A rapid synthetic approach to natural meso-nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and its non-meso isomer is described from (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetone using as a key step the low-valent Ti-induced carbonyl-coupling reaction of the ketone. The method involves
Regioselective Cleavage of the Methylenedioxy Group: Conversion of (-)-Austrobailignan-5 to (-)-Dihydroguaiaretic Acid
Rao, Koppaka V.,Chattopadhyay, Sunil K.
, p. 1427 - 1429 (2007/10/02)
A method for the selective cleavage of a benzodioxole (methylenedioxy group) to a methoxyphenol through the use of a p-methylthiophenoxide ion is described.When the procedure was applied to a lignan derivative such as (-)-austrobailignan-5, the reaction w
Oxidative Coupling of Lignans. II. Non-Phenolic Coupling of Diarylbutane Lignans Related to Matairesinol Dimethyl Ether
Buckleton, John S.,Cambie, Richard C.,Clark, George R.,Craw, Peter A.,Rickard, Clifton E. F.,et al.
, p. 305 - 324 (2007/10/02)
The non-phenolic oxidative coupling of some diarylbutane lignans related to matairesinol dimethyl ether (1) has been investigated.Coupling with a thallium(III) oxidant, prepared in situ from thallium(III) oxide and trifluoroacetic acid, converts these lig
