The first gram-scale asymmetric total synthesis of (+)- and (-)-codonopiloneolignanin A has been achieved from multisubstituted cinnamaldehyde in four steps with 37% overall yield. The synthetically challenging tricyclic [5, 3, 0, 03,8] decane skeleton was efficiently constructed via a highly enantioselective dimerization of multisubstituted cinnamaldehyde, followed by a sequence of cascade reactions including Prins cyclization, cation mediated cyclization, and deprotection. Furthermore, the scope of NHC-catalyzed/Ti(IV)-mediated synergistic control multisubstituted cinnamaldehyde dimerization was investigated. Significantly, the bioactivity of codonopiloneolignanin A and its enantiomer, particularly scarce in nature, was tested and showed good anticancer activity.
