Oxidative coupling of deoxypodorhizon (4) with thallium(III) oxide and trifluoroacetic acid may be controlled to give either deoxyisopodophyllotoxin (14) or isostegane (16).These results and those with related non-phenolic substances indicate that the aromatic substituents of the parent diarylbutane play an important role in determining the outcome of oxidative coupling.
The Preparation of Lignans via Intermolecular Cycloadditions with Quinodimethanes
Mann, John,Piper, Susan E.

Certain lignans can be prepared using, as the key step, a thermal reaction between 1-(aryl)-1,3-dihydro-5,6-dialkoxy-benzothiophen 2,2-dioxides and dienophiles.
