The total synthesis of plagiochin D, a macrocyclic bis(bibenzyl) compound isolated from the liverwort plagiochila acanthophylla, has been accomplished. Closure of the key 16-membered ring, which contained biphenyl ether and biaryl units, was achieved in good yield by an intramolecular SNAr reaction. The Suzuki and Wittig protocols proved to be powerful tools for the construction of a linear precursor that was crucial for ring cyclization. Copyright
On the Synthesis of 2,12-Dimethoxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-dibenzazonine-3,11-diol and Other Bridged Biphenyldiols and the E.S.R. of Their Oxidation Products in Relation to the Biosynthesis of Erythrina Alkaloids

An improved synthesis in described for the dibenzazonine precursor of erysodienone.Other biphenyl-4,4'-diols, bridged by two, three and five atoms, were also prepared.E.s.r. examination of the oxidation of these compounds produced spectra of the 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-4,4'-semiquinone system, hitherto unrecorded, but semiquinone spectra could not be obtained from the other diols.
