Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 16, 13 April 2026.It may seem counterintuitive to first target a ruthenium alkylidyne when Grubbs‐type ruthenium carbene complexes are the actual goal. In the end, however, this tactic pays valuable dividends in terms of practicality, atom economy, flexibility as well as safety: the new route provides ready access to a large assortment of catalysts for alkene metathesis

Synthesis of a Carbon‐Linked Acyldepsipeptide Derivative
European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 15, 22 April 2026.The synthesis of a methylene‐linked acyldepsipeptide (ADEP) is reported. Success relied upon an improve method to generate a versatile vinyl glycine methyl ester synthon and a rationally optimized Grubb’s metathesis. NMR and in silico studies revealed an unusual trans–trans proline orientation for this new unnatural ADEP analog, advancing the ...
