A systematic study of oxidants used in fluoro acid medium allowed us t
o increase notably the number of efficient reagents for the non-phenol
ic oxidative coupling of lignan and alkaloid precursors. If dibenzylbu
tanolide had no methylenedioxyle group, Re2O7 and RuO2.2H2O were the m
ost efficient. With a methylenedioxyle group, best results were obtain
ed with Tl2O3, Mn(OAc)3.2H2O and Ce(OH)4. Finally, aporphines were obt
ained with good yields with Ce(OH)4, RUO2.2H2O and Fe(OH)(OAC)2.
