Abstract

The catalytic activity of four aminocarbonyl group containing ‘boomerang’-type ring-closing metathesis catalysts have been studied for ten-membered lactone and compared well with the Grubbs I and II as well as the Hoveyda-Grubbs catalysts. The activity was found to be superior to the above three ring-closing metathesis catalysts and suggesting novel stereoselective total syntheses of herbarumin I and stagonolide A.

General Procedure for the Metathesis Reaction
To a stirred solution of diene (1.0 mmol) in freshly prepared dry CH2Cl2 (200 mL) at r.t. was added the metathesis catalyst (0.01 mmol) under argon. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (EtOAc-hexane = 1:6) to afford the E-isomer as the sole product.
