Abstract
Copper-catalyzed reaction of 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diol monoacetate with ArCH2MgCl afforded 4-arylmethyl-2-cyclopenten-1-ols regioselectively. Subsequent cleavage of the cyclopentene ring followed by functional group manipulation provided the key β-arylmethyl-γ-butyrolactones for the synthesis of lignans. In addition, synthesis of the rolipram lactone intermediate was accomplished.
Key words

17a Phenylation of monoacetate 1 with PhMgCl and CuCN (cat.) proceeded with high regioselectivity (93:7) in good yield, while reaction with PhMgBr were less selective (70:30). See:

In the present reaction, halogen-ligand exchange (Br to Cl) prior to reaction with monoacetate 1 is probably involved.

Attempted reactions of TBS ether 13 with acidic H5IO6 and of the triol with NaIO4 in place of KIO4 gave mixtures of products.
14The observed specific rotation of the enterolactone dimethyl ether 15 in comparison with the reported values indicates no significant loss in enantiomeric purity at the carbon bearing the benzyl group during the ozonolysis and subsequent reduction of the intermediate (aldehyde).
