The application of catalytic ring-closing olefin metathesis to the synthesis of unsaturated oxygen heterocycles
- California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA (United States)
The development of general approaches to carbon-carbon bond formation represents an important ongoing challenge for synthetic organic chemists. One efficient method for constructing carbon-carbon double bonds, the transition metal alkylidene-catalyzed olefin metathesis reaction, has been the focus of intense interest in recent years from the standpoint of both mechanism and polymer synthesis, in contrast, use of this transformation in organic synthesis has been limited. As part of a broader program directed toward establishing transition metal alkylidenes as versatile reagents for organic chemistry, the authors report the successful application of catalytic olefin methathesis to the generation of a variety of unsaturated oxygen heterocycles. 13 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
