An approach to the synthesis of pseudo-oligosaccharides based on the cross-metathesis reaction between distinct sugar-olefins, followed by intramolecular cyclization of the obtained heterodimer, is presented. In particular, the relative efficiency of two alternative approaches, the straightforward cross-metathesis reaction and the two-step procedure (self-metathesis followed by cross-metathesis), was explored and compared for diverse sugar-olefin substrates. Some representative examples of intramolecular cyclization using iodine as an electrophilic promoter, are also reported.

Plastic waste conversion into valuable chemicals is a promising alternative to landfill or incineration. In particular, the chemical upcycling of polybutadiene rubber (PBR) could provide a renewable route towards highly desirable α,ω-dienes with varying chain lengths, which can find ample industrial application. While previous research has shown that the treatment of polybutadiene with a consecutive hydrogenation and ethenolysis reaction can afford long-chain α,ω-dienes, achieving precise control over the product chain length remains an important bottleneck.

A Hoveyda-Grubbs (HG)-type olefin metathesis complex with a selenoether moiety at the terminus of phenoxy moiety was synthesized. The complex showed direct selenium-atom coordination to the ruthenium center, resulting in higher thermodynamic stability compared with the parent HG catalyst. The selenium atom binding enhanced the tolerance to protic solvent molecules in ring-closing metathesis of -tosyldiallylamide and diethyl diallylmalonate, and also in the cross metathesis between 3-butenylbenzoate and methyl acrylate.

A concise synthetic route to an epimer of the recently isolated biologically active cyclic tetrapeptide koshidacin B has been developed, which featured a late-stage functionalization of a macrocyclic scaffold through a cross metathesis reaction. The synthetic 9--koshidacin B showed marginal differences in spectroscopic behavior with that of the natural product but exhibited conformational preferences similar to those reported for analogous substrate chlamydocin. Moreover, it exhibited a useful level of selective inhibition of biologically relevant enzyme histone deacetylase 1 with an IC value of 0.

Methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) supported on AlO or SiO-AlO is an efficient heterogeneous alkene metathesis catalyst that works at room temperature and tolerates various functional groups. Surface studies found that MTO interacts with highly Lewis-acidic aluminum centers and that its methyl group is probably C-H activated resulting in rhenium-methylidene species. The exact structure of the catalyst resting state and the active species is subject to scientific debate.
