An enantiospecific [3 + 2] annulation of γ-butyrolactone fused cyclopropanes with aromatic aldehydes was realized under Lewis acid catalysis. This method provides facile access to a series of chiral furanolignan derivatives bearing multiple contiguous stereogenic centers in good-to-excellent yields, exclusive diastereoselectivities and excellent enantiopurities under mild reaction conditions. Elaboration work on the product of this reaction delivers stereoisomeric analogues of (+)-virgatusin and suggests a structural revision might be necessary for a previously reported isolated natural product.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
