Simple synthesis of trans-α,β-dibenzyl-γ-butyrolactone lignans by diastereoselective reduction of α-benzylidene-β-benzyl-γ-butyralactones using NaBH4-NiCl2

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
