Abstract: An enantioselective synthesis approach to erythro 8-O-4′ neolignans was reported. In this route a chiral six-membered cyclic acetal was a key intermediate that was obtained from Sharpless AD reaction followed by change of acetals. Then the stereoselective coupling between the intermediate and phenols by Mitsunobu reaction formed the frame of 8-O-4′ lignans. A natural 8-O-4′ norneolignan was enantioselectively synthesized as a single isomer for the first time by the route.

Key words: 8-O-4&prime, Neolignans, Lignans, Enantioselectivity, Synthesis
