The first total synthesis of naturally occurring sacidumlignans A (1), B (2), and D (4) was executed and the absolute configuration of 2 and 4 was determined. A diastereoselective alpha- methylation of a lactone was used as the key step for the control of the chiral centers of the central lignan core. An acid mediated dehydrative cyclization of an aldehyde to construct the dihydronaphthalene unit of 2 and the aromatization of the intermediate dihydronaphthalene derivative to synthesize 1 are the key reactions employed in this regard.

development of a triflimide-catalyzed annulation of benzylic alcohols with allylsilanes for the synthesis of indane or tetralin structures is reported. In this fragment coupling reaction, complexity is built rapidly from readily available starting materials to yield diverse sets of products with up to three contiguous stereocenters. Indanes or tetralins can be generated from common precursors depending
A short synthesis of racemic Sacidumlignan B was achieved for the first time. The key steps included a formal reductive coupling between the diaryl ketone and the crotyl bromide, and the subsequent Friedel–Crafts cyclization, which led to an efficientconstruction of dihydronaphthalene skeleton in this 2,7′-cyclolignan natural product.
