Synthesis of 5-p-Hydroxybenzyl-5,6-dihydro-2-naphthol, (+/-)-Sequirin D

A high-yield six-step synthesis of sequirin D (1a), a naturally occurring norlignan, is described.Michael addition of deoxyanisoin (2) to acrylonitrile gives a ketonitrile (3), which on Wolff-Kishner reduction is reduced and hydrolysed in situ to 4,5-bis-
