The first highly enantioselective syntheses of tetra-substituted tetrahydrofuran lignan, (-)- and (+)-virgatusin, were achieved. Hemiacetal 15 was stereoselectively obtained from Evans's syn-aldol product 8 as a single isomer. This hemiacetal 15 was converted to (-)-virgatusin via hydrogenolysis. (+)-Virgatusin was also synthesized through the same process. The enantiomeric excess of the both enantiomers was determined as more than 99% ee. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.

Morinol C and morinol D are neolignans isolated from the Chinese medicinal herb Morina chinensis as racemates. (1R,2R)-Morinol C and (1S,2R)-morinol D were synthesized from (+)-(3R,4R)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-pivaloyloxymethyl-4-butanolide 4. On the other hand, (1S,2S)-morinol C and (1R,2S)-morinol D were synthesized from anti-aldol product 8.
