A simple and efficient route leading to optically active β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones is described.Thus, the methyl (R,S)-α-benzylhemisuccinate resulting from a Stobbe condensation with an appropriate aromatic aldehyde, followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the intermediate α-benzylidene hemisuccinic ester, was resolved by means of a chiral base (ephedrine or α-methyl benzylamine).Reduction of each enantiomer, using calcium borohydride, then led to the corresponding optically active β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactone.In this way, the following two lactones were obtained in both (R)-(+) and (S)-(-) enantiomeric forms, β-piperonyl- and β-veratryl-γ-butyrolactones 1 and 2 respectively.These lactones were used as key-intermediates for the syntheses of 17 optically active lignans and lignoids, such as (-)-dimethylmatairesinol (-)-23, (-)-kusunokinin (-)-26 and (+)-dimethylisolariciresinol (+)-35.

Methyl α-veratrylhemisuccinate was resolved into its (R)-(+) and (S)-(-) antipodes by (S)-(-) and (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine respectively.Calcium borohydride reduction of the (R)-(+)-hemiester afforded (R)-(+)-β-veratryl-γ-butyrolactone.The latter was us

Application of a general synthetic pathway for aryltetralin and dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans, starting from the lithium enolate of 3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)butyrolactone (1) led to syntheses of (+/-)-lintetralin (4), (+/-)-phyltetralin (5), (+/-)-isogalcat
