Abstract

A new ring closure to tetrasubstituted tetrahydrofurans from the intramolecular attack of an OMOM ether onto a benzylic mesylate proceeds through a quinonoid intermediate or by direct SN2 displacement. The synthesis of diastereomeric biologically active natural lignans is described utilizing this general methodology.

Key words

lignans - tetrahydrofurans - quinonoid intermediate - ­cycloetherification - enantioselective synthesis
