Abstract
A variety of olefin-metathesis protocols have been used to prepare spirocyclic compounds, cyclic sulfones, and constrained α-amino acid derivatives. Conceptually, a new approach to a novel cyclophane ring system has been realized via ring-closing metathesis (RCM). Also, tetracyclic compounds related to anthracycline antibiotics have been assembled using Claisen rearrangement and RCM as key steps. Further, a sequential use of the Diels-Alder reaction and ring-opening cross-metathesis delivered highly functionalized spiroindane derivatives, and trisubstituted benzene derivatives have been assembled using Grubbs’ catalyst. Finally, the enyne and cross-enyne metathesis sequences have been used to prepare several constrained α-amino acid derivatives.
