%X Oxidative coupling of deoxypodorhizon (4) with thallium(III) oxide and trifluoroacetic acid may be controlled to give either deoxyisopodophyllotoxin (14) or isostegane (16). These results and those with related non- phenolic substances indicate that the aromatic substituents of the parent diarylbutane play an important role in determining the outcome of oxidative coupling.
