Abstract
Etoposide and tenoposide, derivatives of the aryltetralin lignan lactone podophyllotoxin (5), are clinically important anticancer agents. The structure of podophyllotoxin includes four contiguous chiral centres contained within a stereochemically unstable transβfused tetrahydronaphthalene lactone skeleton. Reflecting this challenging structure and important biological role there has been longβstanding interest in developing efficient stereocontrolled syntheses of this class of natural product. This microreview summarises the key developments towards this end focussing on more recent developments both from within the authors group and elsewhere.(Β© WileyβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

## Abstract We describe the complete ^1^H and ^13^C NMR analysis of three aryltetralin lignan lactones (polygamain, morelensin and 4,5βdimethoxymorelensin) using modern NMR techniques such as COSY, HMQC, HMBC, 2Dβ__J__βresolved and NOE experiments. The relative stereochemistry of these compounds, w
## Abstract A multicomponent synthesis of arylnaphthalene lignan lactones is developed and successfully applied to the preparation of the natural products dehydrodimethylretroconidendrin (IV) and its regioisomer (V).
