(-)-Agatharesinol dimethyl ether and (-)-sugiresinol dimethyl ether, deriva
tives of(-)-agatharesinol and (-)-sugiresinol isolated from Agathis austral
is and Cryptomeria Japonica, respectively were synthesized starting from a
protected D-glyceraldehyde in five steps through 1,4-conjugate addition of
arylmetal reagents to an alpha,beta -unsaturated ketone.
