Catalytic Ring-Closing Metathesis and the Development of Enantioselective Processes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Alkene Metathesis in Organic Synthesis

Part of the book series: Topics in Organometallic Chemistry ((TOPORGAN,volume 1))

Abstract

Catalytic ring-closing metathesis makes available a wide range of cyclic alkenes, thus rendering a number of stereoselective olefin functionalizations practical. The availability of effective metathesis catalysts has also spawned the development of a variety of methods that prepare specially-outfitted diene substrates that can undergo catalytic ring closure. The new metathesis catalysts have already played a pivotal role in a number of enantioselective total syntheses.

  58. As recently demonstrated by Furstner and Langemann, higher yields of the disubstituted olefin 83 can be obtained under high dilution conditions using 1a as the catalyst. Our experiments clearly illustrate that synthesis of trisubstituted macrocyclic alkenes is more complicated than that of their disubstituted analogues.
