Abstract

Dianions derived from β-hydroxy sulfones are highly reactive toward a variety of electrophiles including alkyl halides, carbonyl compounds, and sodium iodoacetate. A convenient synthetic method for 4-alkyl-and 5-alkyl-2 (5H)-furanones has been developed by using these dianions. A new synthetic approach to trans-3, 4-bis (3-hydroxybenzyl) dihydro-2 (3H)-furanone, the first lignan found in humans, via a facile reduction of 2 (5H)- ...
