, p. 1370 - 1371 (1989)
The alkene (2) obtained directly from the reaction of dimethyl maleate with the pyrone (1) is converted into (+/-)-podophyllotoxin (12) in seven steps and 24percent overall yield; novel steps include the epimerisation of (9) at C-3 using 1,8-diazabicyclo
Synthesis of (+/-)-4-Deoxypodophyllotoxin, (+/-)-Podophyllotoxin and (+/-)-Epipodophyllotoxin

6,7-Methylenedioxy-1-(3',4',5'-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-benzopyran-3-one 1 and dimethyl fumarate in acetonitrile give mostly the C-2 exo-CO2Me adduct 4 which is transformed in four steps into epipodophyllotoxin 10a.Attempted addition of dimethyl maleate to 1 p
Comprehensive Synthetic Route to Eight Diastereomeric Podophyllum Lignans

, p. 4280 - 4290 (2007/10/02)
An oxabicyclo compound, 9, prepared in 47percent yield through an isobenzofuran intermediate was converted with excellent regio- and stereocontrol to eight (+/-)-lignan lactones of the podophyllotoxin series.One of the eight, epiisopicropodophyllin, 36, t
