Regioselective Cleavage of the Methylenedioxy Group: Conversion of (-)-Austrobailignan-5 to (-)-Dihydroguaiaretic Acid

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
