The acid-catalyzed rearrangement of diaryl-dilactones, readily obtained by oxidation of ferulic acid derivatives, is examined as a synthesis route to aryltetralins. Two structures which have been proposed for the lignan, phyltetralin, are shown by synthesis of the two diastereomeric 1-veratryltetralins (3A) and (3B), to be untenable. Conidendrin has been converted to isolariciresinol tetramethyl ether
