Olivil-type lignans, an enantiomeric type of natural olivil, were synthesized for the first time to evaluate the relationship between the structure of olivil and its antioxidant activity. A comparison of the antioxidant activity with that of other synthesized tetrahydrofuran lignans indicated reduced activity with the tertiary hydroxy group. A different effect of the two phenolic groups of olivil on the antioxidant activity was also observed.
