Hydrogenolysis of gmelinol 8 with sodium in liquid ammonia gives a triol 9, which is converted under various reaction conditions into a range of derivatives including the di-and tri-O-methyl ethers 10 and I1, a 3,4-dibenzyl-3-hydroxy-tetrahyckofuran 12, and its acetate 13. These derivatives undergo

โฆ Synopsis
Treatment of dihydrocubebin (1) with DDQ in acetic acid gives the 2-aryltetrahydrofuran (3) while with DDQ in trifluoroacetic acid it affords the isomeric dibenzocyclooctadiene (5). Treatment of the 3,4-dibenzyltetrahydrofuran (2), obtained by cyclisation of (1), with DDQ in acetic acid gives a mixture of the acetoxy compound ( 8) and the aryl tetraiin (9), while with DDQ in tfifluoroacetic acid it gives the dibenzocyclooctadiene (10). The structural elucidation of these products is described and mechanisms for their formation are presented.
