Abstract
Protection of hexa-1,5-dien-3-ol with bulky groups enables a regioselective cross-metathesis reaction at the C5-C6 double bond.
see article for more examples
General Procedure
A flame-dried round-bottomed flask was charged with diene (1 eq.), activated olefin (3 eq.) and dichloromethane (0.2 M). The Ru-catalyst (0.05 eq., 5 mol%) was subsequently added as a solid, producing a light green solution which was stirred at 40 °C for 1 to 12 h depending on the substrate. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to a dark oil. This residue was purified on silica gel by flash chromatography (hexanes/ethyl acetate).
Zusammenfassung
Der Schutz von Hexa-1,5-dien-3-ol mit sterisch anspruchsvollen Gruppen ermöglicht eine regioselektive Kreuz-Metathese an der C5-C6-Doppelbindung.
