Kinetically E-selective macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis. [PDF]
Macrocyclic compounds are central to the development of new drugs, but preparing them can be challenging because of the energy barrier that must be surmounted in order to bring together and fuse the two ends of an acyclic precursor such as an alkene (also known as an olefin). To this end, the catalytic process known as ring-closing metathesis (RCM) has

Synthesis of Cystine-Stabilised Dicarba Conotoxin EpI: Ring-Closing Metathesis of Sidechain Deprotected, Sulfide-Rich Sequences [PDF]
Recombinant peptide synthesis allows for large-scale production of peptides with therapeutic potential. However, access to dicarba peptidomimetics via sidechain-deprotected sequences becomes challenging with exposed Lewis basicity presented by amine and ...

Tandem Ring‐Opening–Ring‐Closing Metathesis for Functional Metathesis Catalysts [PDF]
AbstractUse of a tandem ring‐opening–ring‐closing metathesis (RORCM) strategy for the synthesis of functional metathesis catalysts is reported. Ring opening of 7‐substituted norbornenes and subsequent ring‐closing metathesis forming a thermodynamically stable 6‐membered ring lead to a very efficient synthesis of new catalysts from commercially ...

Design and synthesis of C3-symmetric molecules bearing propellane moieties via cyclotrimerization and a ring-closing metathesis sequence [PDF]
We have developed an efficient synthetic strategy to assemble C3-symmetric molecules containing propellane moieties as end groups and a benzene ring as a central core. The synthesis of these C3-symmetric molecules involves simple starting materials.

Synthesis of Dihydropyrano[3,2-c]pyrazoles via Double Bond Migration and Ring-Closing Metathesis [PDF]
Three types of pyrazole-fused heterobicycles, i.e., 1,5-, 1,7-, and 2,5-dihydropyrano[3,2-c]pyrazoles, were synthesized from 4-allyloxy-1H-pyrazoles. A sequence of the Claisen rearrangement of 4-allyloxy-1H-pyrazoles, ruthenium-hydride-catalyzed double ...

Bridgehead vicinal diallylation of norbornene derivatives and extension to propellane derivatives via ring-closing metathesis [PDF]
Here, we report a simple synthetic strategy to the bridgehead vicinal diallylation of norbornene derivatives. These substrates are useful to generate propellanes via ring-closing metathesis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of four compounds led
