Relay Ring Closing Metathesis Variations on a Theme
RCM Powerful and widely used method Limitations Sterically hindered alkenes Electronically deactivated alkenes RRCM Substrate designed to dictate the sequence of metathesis events through the individual steps of the RCM Substrate controlled reaction Intramolecular loading of Ru catalyst RRCM (Relay Ring Closing Metathesis)
Increasing Reactivity By RRCM E=CO2Et Hoye et al JACS2004, 126, 10210
Bidirectional RRCM • Demonstrates cyclization • Onto an electron deficient alkene [ 6 to 7 ] • Into an electron deficient alkene [ 8 to 7 ]
RRCM Choreography with G2 with G1
Non Obvious Advantage • Remote atom and all it bears is expendable during RRCM. • Hoye used larger groups near the alcohol to increase resolution.
