โฆ Synopsis
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 oxidative cyclisation with DDQ in acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid to yield 1-aryRetralin, l-aryinaphthalene, dibenzocyclooctadiene and spirudienune derivatives in reactions which provide biomimetic analogies for biogenetic transformations of liguans.
