(S)-[4-Methoxy-3-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]phenyl)oxirane (prepared from isovanillin by consecutive silylation, olefination, Sharpless asymmetric cis-dihydroxylation, and dehydration) reacted with [3-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl]lithium (prepared from 3-bromophenol by consecutive methoxymethylation and bromine - lithium exchange) to yield (R)-1-[4-methoxy-3-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]phenyl)-2-[3-(methoxymethoxy)phenyl] ethanol. The last compound underwent selective hydrogen-metal exchange with excess of butyllithium affording (after carbonation, lactonization, and deprotection of phenolic groups) the title compound [(R)-3,4-dihydro-8-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxy-3-hydroxyphenyl)-isocoumarin].
