Lignans from Piper cubeba

From the hot petrol extract of Piper cubeba ftuits, six lignans were isolated. Two of these, which have been obtained from a natural source for the first time, have been characterized as (2R,3R)-2-(3″,4″,5″-trimethoxybenzyl)-3-(3′,4′-methylenedioxybenzyl)-1,4-butanediol [(-)-dihydroclusin] and (3R,4R)-3,4-bis-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)tetra-hydro-2-furanol [(-)-cubebinin]. (-)Cubebin, (-)-hinokinin, (-)-clusin and (-)-dihydrocubebin were also found in this plant. Only (-)-cubebin has been reported so far from this source.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Lignans of the Dibenzylbutanediol and Tetrahydrodibenzocyclooctene Series

Enolate anions obtained by conjugate addition to (-)-5-(1-menthyloxy)furan-2(5H)-one are quenched with benzyl bromides or iodides to yield homochiral dibenzylbutyrolactones.Desufurisation followed by lithium aluminium hydride reduction affords homochiral

Asymmetric Syntheses of Lignans of the Dibenzylbutyrolactone, Dibenzylbutanediol, Aryltetralin and Dibenzocyclooctadiene Series

General procedures are outlined for the asymmetric syntheses of ligands of the dibenzylbutyrolactone, dibenzylbutanediol, aryltetralin and dibenzocyclooctadiene series, from tandem addition products derived from 4-mentyloxybutenolide.

A KEY INTERMEDIATE FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ANTITUMOR LIGNAN PROTOTYPES

Procedures are described for the convenient generation of an iodinated carboxylic acid possessing considerable utility as a precursor to several biologically active lignans.
