Recent Progress on Enyne Metathesis: Its Application to Syntheses of Natural Products and Related Compounds

چکیده
Abstract: Olefin metathesis using ruthenium carbene complexes is a useful method in synthetic organic chemistry. Enyne metathesis is also catalyzed by these complexes and various carboand heterocycles could be synthesized from the corresponding enynes. Dienyne metathesis, cross enyne metathesis and ring-opening enyne metathesis have been further developed. Various complicated compounds, such as the natural products and the related biologically active substances, could be synthesized using these metatheses reactions. Skeletal reorganization using the transition metals and metallotropic rearrangement are also discussed.

Synthesis of Natural Products and Related Compounds using Enyne Metathesis
Since the molybdenum and ruthenium carbene complexes 1a and 1b were discovered by Schrock and Grubbs in 1990 and 1992, synthetic organic chemistry has progressed with the use of these complexes as the catalyst for olefin metathesis. It was found that the ruthenium carbene complex was also effective for enyne metathesis, which occurs between an alkene and an alkyne. Intramolecular enyne metathes...
متن کاملApplication of olefin metathesis in the synthesis of steroids.
Over the past decade, ruthenium-mediated metathesis transformations, including cross-metathesis, ring-closing metathesis, enyne metathesis, ring-opening metathesis polymerization, and also tandem processes, belong to the most intensively studied reactions. Many applications of olefin metathesis in the synthesis of natural products have been recently described. Also in the field of steroid chemi...
متن کاملRing closing enyne metathesis: a powerful tool for the synthesis of heterocycles.
The ring closing metathesis (RCM) is a powerful method in organic synthesis for the preparation of cyclic compounds by formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. In the past years a particular subclass of the RCM, the ring closing enyne metathesis (RCEYM), has attracted attention due to its synthetic potential in the generation of ring structures with 1,3-diene moieties, which can subsequently be fu...
متن کاملEnyne metathesis (enyne bond reorganization).
Enyne metathesis is a bond reorganization of an alkene and an alkyne to produce a 1,3-diene (eqs 1 and 2 in Scheme 1). It has been used in both intramolecular and intermolecular applications. Enyne metathesis bears a mechanistic kinship to alkene metathesis; however, it is less-studied than alkene metathesis. The enyne bond reorganization is atom economical and is driven by the enthalpic stabil...
متن کاملThe joy and challenge of small rings metathesis.
Recent decades have seen a burgeoning of interest in olefin metathesis, as witnessed by a rapidly growing number of elegant applications. Using this tool, chemists can now efficiently synthesize an impressive range of molecules that only a decade ago required significantly longer and tedious routes.[1] Several types of olefin metathesis have been identified so far, among them ring-closing metat...
