A diastereoselective α- methylation of a lactone was used as the key step for the control of the chiral centers of the central lignan core. An acid mediated dehydrative cyclization of an aldehyde to construct the dihydronaphthalene unit of 2 and the aromatization of the intermediate dihydronaphthalene derivative to synthesize 1 are the key reactions employed in this regard.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.564
