Abstract
A general methodology for the stereoselective synthesis of compounds of the 2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane series was developed. The strategy includes allylboration of aromatic aldehydes with 1,6-bis(dialkylboryl)-2,4-hexadiene, ozonolysis of the thus obtained 1,4-diaryl-2,3-divinyl-1,4-diols, and subsequent intramolecular cyclization. This methodology was used for obtaining the naturally occurring lignans of the furofuran series, viz., diaeudesmin, diayangambin, epiasarinin, epieudesmin, epiyangambin, and asarinin.
