Abstract

Studies of schisandrol B under Ritter reaction conditions showed similar results to that of schisandrin. However the carbonium cyclization product (4a) of schisandrol B undergoes oxidative ring opening when exposed to the air. Cyclization of schisantherin A (2) also occurs by treatment with thionyl chloride in pyridine. Here the presence of the extra benzoyloxy group somehow confers stability to the diosphenol system and 8 has to be stirred in solution under oxygen for extended periods to effect ring opening.
