A base-promoted addition of DMA (N,N-dimethylacetamide) to 1,1-diarylethylenes has been developed, and it provides a new strategy for the synthesis of N,N-dimethyl-4,4-diarylbutanamides from 1,1-diarylethylenes at room temperature. This method allows us to achieve the goal of synthesizing (-)-sacidumlignan B, and provides simple operation and broad substrate scope by avoiding the use of transition metal catalysts.

The development of a triflimide-catalyzed annulation of benzylic alcohols with allylsilanes for the synthesis of indane or tetralin structures is reported. In this fragment coupling reaction, complexity is built rapidly from readily available starting materials to yield diverse sets of products with up to three contiguous stereocenters. Indanes or tetralins can be generated from common precursors depending on the structure of the allylsilane reagent used. The concise synthesis of several lignan natural products highlights the utility of this newly devised methodology.
Total synthesis of (-)-sacidumlignans B and D
Rout, Jeetendra Kumar,Ramana
experimental part, p. 1566 - 1571 (2012/04/04)
The first total synthesis of naturally occurring sacidumlignans A (1), B (2), and D (4) was executed and the absolute configuration of 2 and 4 was determined. A diastereoselective α- methylation of a lactone was used as the key step for the control of the chiral centers of the central lignan core. An acid mediated dehydrative cyclization of an aldehyde to construct the dihydronaphthalene unit of 2 and the aromatization of the intermediate dihydronaphthalene derivative to synthesize 1 are the key reactions employed in this regard.
