Ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis on cyclobutene-containing substrates with angular oxygen functionality provides a stereospecific introduction of 1,5-bis-dienes required for an anion-accelerated oxy-Cope rearrangement. The reaction sequence offers generally a stereocontrolled preparation of a variety of medium ring-containing bicyclic ring systems, while rearrangement

In recent years, the olefin metathesis reaction has attracted widespread attention as a versatile carbon-carbon bond-forming method. Many new applications have become possible because of major advances in catalyst design. State-of-the-art ruthenium catalysts are not only highly active but also
[reaction: see text] A series of ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been prepared in which the N-aryl groups have been changed from mesityl to mono-ortho-substituted phenyl (e.g., tolyl). These new catalysts offer an exceptional increase in

A series of ruthenium catalysts have been screened under ring-closing metathesis (RCM) conditions to produce five-, six-, and seven-membered carbamate-protected cyclic amines. Many of these catalysts demonstrated excellent RCM activity and yields with as low as 500 ppm catalyst loadings.
