(+/-)-Deoxyschizandrin (1) has been synthesised through a dimerisation reaction as a key step.The Grignard reagent from 1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-bromopropane (10) on reaction with 2-t-butyl-3-phenyloxaziridine gives 1,4-bis(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethylbutane (11), which is cyclised using vanadium oxytrifluoride to get deoxyschizandrin (1).Following the above methodology, 1,4-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethylbutane (2), a lignan has also been prepared.
