The combination of intermolecular enyne cross metathesis and subsequent 1,4-hydrogenation opens a stereocontrolled and atom-economic access to trisubstituted olefins. By investigating different combinations of functionalized alkyne and alkene substrates, we found that the outcome (yield, E/Z ratio) of the Grubbs II-catalyzed enyne cross-metathesis step depends on the substrate’s structure, the amount of the alkene (used in excess), and the (optional) presence of ethylene. In any case, the 1,4-hydrogenation, catalyzed by 1,2-di­methoxybenzene-Cr(CO)3, proceeds stereospecifically to yield exclusively the E-products from both the E- and Z-1,3-diene intermediates obtained by metathesis. A rather broad scope and functional group compatibility of the method is demonstrated by means of 15 examples.

<b><u>Abstract:</u></b> A retrosynthetic disconnection-reconnection analysis of epoxypolyenes – substrates that can undergo cyclization to podocarpane-type tricycles – reveals relay-actuated Δ<sup>6,7</sup>-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols for ruthenium benzylidene catalyzed olefin cross metathesis with homoprenyl benzenes. Successful implementation of this approach provided several epoxypolyenes as expected (<i>E</i>:<i>Z</i>, ca. 2-3:1). The method is further generalized for the cross metathesis of pre-existing trisubstituted olefins in other relay-actuated Δ<sup>6,7</sup>-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols with various other trisubstituted alkenes to form new trisubstituted olefins. Epoxypolyene cyclization of an enantiomerically pure, but geometrically impure, epoxypolyene substrate provides an enantiomerically pure, trans-fused, podocarpane-type tricycle (from the <i>E</i>-geometrical isomer).<br>

<div>We report the design and implementation of a relay cross</div><div>metathesis (ReXM) reaction for the ascent of the terpenoids in an iterative protocol. The method features the reaction of naturally occurring terpenoid building blocks – with preexisting trisubstituted olefins – which combine to construct a new trisubstituted olefin resulting in a five-carbon unit homologation. Subsequent functional group manipulation allows for the method to be repeated in an</div><div>iterative fashion. The method is used for the synthesis of a diterpenebenzoate macrolide of biogenetic relevance to the bromophycolide family of natural products.</div>

A set of experiments in surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization, including end-functionalization of growing brushes and contact angle/cyclic voltammetry measurements. We report preparation and CV of two different conjugated polymer films, and several endgroup and sidechain functionalization experiments using cross-metathesis and active ester substitution.<br>

<div> <div> <div> <div> <p>The synthesis of conjugated triynes by molybdenum-catalyzed alkyne metathesis is reported. Strategic to the success of this approach is the utilization of sterically-hindered diynes that allowed for the site- selective alkyne metathesis to produce the desired con- jugated triyne products. The steric hindrance of alkyne moiety was found to be crucial in preventing the for- mation of diyne byproducts. This novel synthetic strategy was amenable to self- and cross-metathesis providing straightforward access to the corresponding symmetrical and dissymmetrical triynes with high selectivity. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>

AbstractA concise and convergent stereoselective synthesis of curvulone B is described. The synthesis utilized a tandem isomerization followed by C–O and C–C bond-forming reactions following Mukaiyama-type aldol conditions for the construction of the trans-2,6-disubstituted dihydropyran ring system as the key steps. Other important features of this synthesis are a cross-metathesis, epimerization, and Friedel–Crafts acylation.
