Siloxyalkyne–Alkene Metathesis: Rapid Access to Highly Functionalized Enones
摘要:
Mechanistically intriguing participation of siloxyalkynes occurs in the intramolecular Ru-catalyzed metathesis with terminal alkenes (see scheme; Ms=methanesulfonyl). Combined with efficient protodesilylation, this process resulted in the development of a new method for the synthesis of highly functionalized enones starting from readily accessible acyclic precursors. Heterocyclic and polycyclic compounds were prepared efficiently, which illustrates the generality of this novel method.
