become a valuable reaction in organic synthesis, as has been demonstrated by its frequent use as the key bond constructions for total syntheses of many natural products. With the recent discovery of highly active catalyst 1, trisubstituted and functionalized alkenes have been synthesized efficiently by cross-metathesis (CM), further expanding the substrate scope for this reaction. With these successes in
An efficient method for the preparation of C2-symmetric, chiral alk-2-ene-1,4-diols (4) has been achieved, based on the borane-mediated reduction of symmetric alk-2-ene-1,4-diones (2) in the presence of oxazaborolidine (R)-1. In general, the presence of the double bond in 2 has been beneficial (compared with the related saturated 1,4-diketones 3) not only as far as the stereoselectivity in the reduction
