First total synthesis of mariamide A

Mariamide A, a lignanamide isolated from the seeds of Silybum marianum, has demonstrated potential utility as an antioxidant and antidiabetic agent and possesses an 8-O-4′ neolignan skeleton. Herein, a first total synthesis of mariamide A is presented that proceeds in nine steps using vanillin as the starting material. The key steps for the preparation of mariamide A involve an I2-catalyzed bromomethoxylation of an alkene group, a nucleophilic substitution followed by a sequential elimination and a monoacylation reaction.

A One-Step Conversion of p-Methoxybenzyl Ethers into Methoxymethyl Ethers by the Action of Dimethoxymethane in the Presence of Tin(II) Bromide and Bromomethyl Methyl Ether

The combined use of dimethoxymethane with catalytic amounts of tin(II) bromide and bromomethyl methyl ether cleaves p-methoxybenzyl ethers to give methoxymethyl ethers in good yields.The chemoselective conversion of p-methoxybenzyl ethers in the presence of the benzyl ether function into methoxymethyl ethers has also occurred successfully.
