trans-α,β-Dibenzyl-γ-butyrolactone lignans were synthesized by stereoselective reduction of α-benzylidene-β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones using NaBH4-NiCl2. The reduction is found to proceed via conjugate addition of a hydride to an α-benz

Analogues of the natural product (-)-arctigenin, an activator of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase, were prepared in order to evaluate their effects on 2-deoxyglucose uptake in L6 myotubes and possible use in ameliorating metabolic disorders. Racemic arctigenin 2a was found to display a similar uptake enhancement as does (-)-arctigenin. As a result, the SAR study was conducted utilizing racemic compounds. The structure-activity relationship study led to the discovery of key substitution patterns on the lactone motif that govern 2-deoxyglucose uptake activities. The results show that replacement of the para-hydroxyl group of the C-2 benzyl moiety of arctigenin by Cl has a pronounced effect on uptake activity. Specifically, analogue 2p, which contains the p-Cl substituent, stimulates glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation in L6 myotubes.

Several biaryls bearing various substituents on both rings were synthesized in a preparativ fashion, and in yields up to 88percent by a technical improvement on the classical Ullmann reaction.All these biaryls bear reactive functional groups (i.e. formyl, methoxycarbonyl, dimethoxycarbonylpropyl and butanolidylmethyl) in both the o and o' positions.The biaryls 9, 13, 21 and 26-33 are plausible synthons for bisbenzocyclooctadiene lignans such as schizandrin and steganacin.
