In this study, a borate-mediated one-pot sequential Suzuki-Miyaura coupling method was successfully used to synthesize various lignan compounds, achieving the synthesis of naturally occurring lignans through asymmetric cyclic hydroboration and a series of reaction steps.
Lignans are a group of polyphenolic phytochemicals that possess a large spectrum of chemical structures and biological activities. Here the syntheses of lignans - anwulignan, burseran, dehydroxycubebin, ruburisandrin B, and sesamin - are achieved based on a borate-mediated one-pot sequential Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of cis- and trans-fused bicyclic boranes, which were prepared by diastereoselective cyclic hydroboration of exo-cyclic diene with cyclopentyl- and thexylboranes, respectively. A one-pot sequential Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of each cyclic borate with various aryl bromides initiated by activation of the cyclic borane with the carbon nucleophile provided 2,3-dibenzylbutane derivatives with different aromatic substituents. Finally, the syntheses of naturally occurring lignans were accomplished in several steps from the products of Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.
