USING STEREORETENTION FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF E-MACROCYCLES WITH RUTHENIUM-BASED OLEFIN METATHESIS CATALYSTS
-
Paragraph 198, (2019/06/23)
This invention relates generally to the synthesis of E-macrocycles using stereoretentive ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts supported by dithioiate ligands. Macrocycles were generated with excellent selectivity (>99% E) and in moderate to high/good yields (47% to 80% yield; 58% to 80% yield) from diene starting materials bearing two E-olefins or bearing one E- olefin and one terminal olefin, A variety of rings were constructed, ranging from 12- to 18- membered macrocycles, including the antibiotic recifeiolide. The invention has utility in the fields of organometallics and organic synthesis.
A HIGHLY EFFICIENT SYNTHESIS OF Z-MACROCYCLES USING STEREORETENTIVE, RUTHENIUM-BASED METATHESIS CATALYSTS

Page/Page column 44, (2018/12/02)
A highly efficient, Z-selective ring-closing metathesis system for the formation of macrocycles using a stereoretentive, ruthenium-based catalyst supported by a dithiolate ligand is reported. This catalyst is demonstrated to be remarkably active as observed in initiation experiments showing complete catalyst initiation at - 20°C within 10 min. Using easily accessible diene starting materials bearing a Z-olefin moiety, macrocyclization reactions generated products with significantly higher Z-selectivity in appreciably shorter reaction times, in higher yield, and with much lower catalyst loadings than in previously reported systems. Macrocyclic lactones ranging in size from twelve-mem bered to seventeen-membered rings are synthesized in moderate to high yields (68 - 79% yield) with excellent Z-selectivity (95% - 99% Z).
