, p. 271 - 276 (2007/10/02)
Following model studies, the synthesis of (+/-)-picropodophillone was completed by first cyclopropanating the appropriate chalcone (11) with ethoxycarbonyl dimethylsulphonium methylide.Treatment of the resulting cyclopropyl ketone with stannic chloride in
Total Synthesis of (+/-)-4'-Demethyl-4-epipodophyllotoxin by Insertion-Cyclization

The total synthesis of (+/-)-4'-O-demethyl-4-epipodophyllotoxin (3) is accomplished in 13 steps and 2.4percent overall yield from piperonal through the use of an "insertion-cyclization" reaction to form the aryltetralin ring system.
