Abstract
The A-ring of hexacyclinic acid has been synthesised, using a ring-closing metathesis involving an α-EWG-substituted enone as the key step. We have then explored the scope of this reaction, which gives access to various 5- and 6-membered rings.
Key words
metathesis - ring-closure - enones - natural products
