Abstract: Anew method for asymmetric synthesis of 8-O-4′-neolignans has been reported.There are two key steps in this synthesis route.The two chiral centers in 8-O-4′-neolignans are introduced by Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction, and the two main sections are coupled to form the frame of 8-O-4′-neolignans by Mitsunobu reaction.Two diastereoisomers of a natural 8-O-4′-neolignan are obtained from protected ferulic alcohol in eight steps by the route, among which threo isomer is the major product.

Key words: 8-O-4′-neolignans, Lignans, Asymmetric synthesis
