Taming the radical cation intermediate enabled one-step access to structurally diverse lignans

Nature Communications, 2022
Lignans, in spite of their structural diversity, are all biosynthetically derived from coniferyl alcohol. Here, the authors describe a divergent and stereoselective chemical synthesis of three types of lignans from biomass-derived monolignols, exploiting
