Lignans are a group of polyphenolic phytochemicals that possess a large spectrum of chemical structures and biological activities. Here the syntheses of lignans – anwulignan, burseran, dehydroxycubebin, ruburisandrin B, and sesamin – are achieved based on a borate-mediated one-pot sequential Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of cis- and trans-fused bicyclic boranes, which were prepared by diastereoselective cyclic hydroboration of exo-cyclic diene with cyclopentyl- and thexylboranes, respectively. A one-pot sequential Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of each cyclic borate with various aryl bromides initiated by activation of the cyclic borane with the carbon nucleophile provided 2,3-dibenzylbutane derivatives with different aromatic substituents. Finally, the syntheses of naturally occurring lignans were accomplished in several steps from the products of Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.
Chromatography-free “two-pots” asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-sesamin and (+)-aschantin

A gram-scale chromatography-free asymmetric total synthesis of both homo- and heterobiaryl furofuran lignans containing at least one methylenedioxy phenyl unit such as (+)-sesamin and (+)-aschantin is accomplished in “two-pots” from easily accessible enantiopure lactone involving four steps in high overall yields. Steps- and pot economy are the key advantages of the protocol. Additionally, the bromo-functionality of the intermediates is useful for late stage functionalization.
Electochemical asymmetric dimerization of cinnamic acid derivatives and application to the enantioselective syntheses of furofuran lignans

A new electrochemical method for the asymmetric oxidative dimerization of cinnamic acid derivatives has been developed. This method enabled the enantioselective syntheses of furofuran lignans, yangambin, sesamin and eudesmin.
