Synthesis of 3,4-Dibenzyltetrahydrofuran Lignans (9,9′-Epoxylignanes)

Different strategies for the racemic or enantiospecific total syntheses of plant and mammalian 3,4-dibenzyltetrahydrofuran lignans are reviewed and compared. The multi-step approaches have various key step strategies: Diels–Alder reactions, Stobbe condensations, Michael additions, alkylations, nitri...
