This account surveys the current progress on the application of intra- and intermolecular enyne metathesis as main key steps in the synthesis of challenging structural motifs and stereochemistries found in bioactive compounds. Special emphasis is placed on ruthenium catalysts as promoters of enyne metathesis to build the desired 1,3-dienic units. The advantageous association of this approach with name reactions like Grignard, Wittig, Diels-Alder, Suzuki-Miyaura, Heck cross-coupling, etc. is illustrated. Examples unveil the generality of such tandem reactions in providing not only the intricate structures of known, in vivo effective substances but also for designing chemically modified analogs as valid alternatives for further therapeutic agents.

Article Synopsis
- - A study investigated how gold catalysts affect the synthesis of pyrazolines and dihydropyridines from imines and methyl phenylpropiolate, focusing on three different imines with unique substituents.
- - The research found that the type of nitrogen substituent influences the reaction path: NHCOMe leads to outward ring opening and pyrazoline products, while aromatic substituents prompt inward ring opening and dihydropyridine products.
- - The configuration of dihydropyridine is determined by the substituent on the aromatic ring, with electron-donating groups causing direct formation of 1,4-dihydropyridine and electron-withdrawing groups leading to 1,2-dihyd

Herein, we present a general approach for synthesizing pluramycin hybrids, which are analogous to the pluramycinone carbocyclic skeleton. This method involves a sequence of relay ring-closing enyne metathesis, Diels-Alder and oxidative aromatization reactions to synthesize pluramycinone-sugar hybrids. As part of our ongoing research, we have successfully synthesized two pluramycin hybrid analogues by carefully monitoring the late-stage oxidative aromatization steps, which depend on the stereo-orientation of the Diels-Alder cycloadduct at the C-4 center.

A photocatalytic method for the ring-closing 1,7-enyne metathesis using the α-amino radical as an alkene deconstruction auxiliary is present. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer is the key to the generation and β-scission of the α-amino radical, while the dearomatization of arenes and ring opening of cyclopropanes are the key to construct spirocyclic quinolin-2-ones. This approach highlights the potential of ring-closing 1,7-enyne metathesis, providing a green, efficient, and step-economical way for the synthesis of spirocyclic quinolin-2-ones.

Herein, we report the first asymmetric total synthesis of 4-hydroxy-8--methyltetrangomycin (), 4-hydroxytetrangomycin (), and 4-keto-8--methyltetrangomycin (), angucyclinones featuring a highly oxidized nonaromatic A ring. A sequential enyne metathesis/Diels-Alder approach was utilized successfully to construct the tetracyclic skeleton of the angucyclinones. Late-stage acetonide deprotection challenges were overcome by A ring functional group manipulation, yielding a dihydroxy intermediate prior to the benzylic photo-oxidation, facilitating the total syntheses of angucyclinones -.

The precise synthesis of chiral polymers remains a significant challenge in polymer chemistry, particularly for applications in advanced biomedical and electronic materials. The development of degradable polymers is important for eco-friendly and advanced materials. Here, we introduce a stereo-controlled degradable polymer via cascade enyne metathesis polymerization and enantioselective acetal synthesis through Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydroamination.
