A radical-promoted synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins has been achieved in moderate to good yields using titanocene(III) chloride (Cp2TiCl) as the radical initiator. The total synthesis of four naturally occurring dihydrocoumarins hydrangenol, phyllodulcin, macrophyllol and thunberginol G has been accomplished using the radical technology. Cp2TiCl was prepared in situ from commercially available titanocene dichloride (Cp2TiCl2) and Zn-dust in THF under argon.

Sequential treatment of 4,4-dimethyl-2-(o-tolyl)oxazoline in THF with sec-BuLi, aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes, sec-BuLi, B(OMe)3, and H2O2 produced the laterally alkylated and ortho-hydroxylated oxazolines in one-pot. Treatment of these products with TFA in aqueous THF provided 3-substituted 8-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins in 44-75% overall yields. This procedure allowed the short synthesis of (±)-hydrangenol and (±)-phyllodulcin, naturally occurring 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins of pharmacological interest. A more economical synthesis of (±)-phyllodulcin via the trianion intermediate is also described.

Lactonization reaction of 2-carboxystilbene mediated by copper(II) chloride proceeded regiospecifically to give the five-membered lactone, while the bromolactonizations using N-bromosuccinimide and anodic oxidation were found to furnish the six-membered lactone. Using these regiospecific lactonization reactions as a key step, antiallergic and antimicrobial isocoumarins and the benzylidenephthalides thunberginols A and F and their 3'-deoxyanalogs were synthesized from phyllodulcin and hydrangenol. Two phthalides called hydramacrophyllols A and B were isolated from Hydrangeae Dulcis Folium and their stereostructures were determined on the basis of physicochemical and chemical evidence, which included the syntheses of hydramacrophyllols A and B from hydrangenol by the application of the lactonization method using copper(II) chloride. In addition, hydramacrophyllols A and B were found to exhibit an inhibitory effect on the histamine release from rat peritoneal exudate cells induced by antigen- antibody reaction.
