A Short Asymmetric Synthesis of (+)-Lyoniresinol Dimethyl Ether

Abstract: A short, efficient synthesis of the lignan (+)-lyoniresinol dimethyl ether is described. The synthesis is achieved by asymmetric photocyclization of an achiral dibenzylidenesuccinate to a chiral aryldihydronaphthalene. (-)-Ephedrine is used as a chiral auxiliary to bias the atropisomeric equilibrium in the dibenzylidenesuccinate prior to the photochemical reaction. The synthesis of the title compound was accomplished in five steps, and the final product was recrystallized to constant melting point and rotation. Show more

“…This assignment was also supported by the NOESY correlations of H-7′ with H 2 -9′, and H-8′ with H-2′ (H-6)′. Finally, the negative optical rotation of 1 demonstrated the 7′ R ,8′ S absolute configuration of 1 [18,19]. Hence, compound 1 was defined as (−)-(7′ R ,8′ S )- N -[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethyl]-4,4′,9′-trihydroxy-3,5,3′,5′-tetramethoxy-2,7′-cyclolignan-7-en-9-amide.…”

“…Therefore, in this investigation, four azetidine-steroid derivatives were synthesized to evaluate their inotropic activity using a heart failure model. The first stage was achieved via preparation of an ether-steroid derivative (figure 1); it is important to mention that there are several methods for the preparation of ether groups which involve a series of reagents such as Me3SiCN, [25] K2CO3/acetone, [26] tetrahydrofuranlithium-aluminum hydride, [27] Me3SiCl, [28] K3PO4-DMF, [29] ethyl cinnamate [30] and others. In this investigation, an ether-steroid derivative (2) was prepared from estrone and p-nitrobenzoyl azide in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide.…”

“…Aly (2003) used a strategy involving reaction of a diethyl phthalate with a 2-aminophenol derivative to generate the lactone and lactam functions. Assoumatine et al (2004) applied the analogous reaction of a succinate diester with aamino alcohol derivative. Conceptually the system might also be constructed from a phthaloyl -amino alcohol, for example (II), by intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the derived side chain alkoxide on a carbonyl group, involving carbon-oxygen bond formation followed by carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage to yield the eight-membered ring system (III).…”
