An interesting allylic substituent effect on ring-closing enyne metathesis has been found. An allylic hydroxy group on enyne substrates accelerates ring-closing enyne metathesis of terminal alkynes. The reaction proceeds smoothly without ethylene atmosphere and/or more reactive newer generation Ru-carbene catalysts, which are generally necessary to promote the reaction. This efficient reaction was applied to the synthesis of isofagomine.

An interesting acceleration effect of an allylic hydroxy group on ring-closing enyne metathesis has been found. Ring-closing enyne metathesis of terminal alkynes possessing an allylic hydroxy group proceeded smoothly without the ethylene atmosphere generally necessary to promote the reaction. The synthesis of (+)-isofagomine with the aid of this efficient reaction has been demonstrated. Mechanistic studies of the acceleration effect were also carried out. Results of NMR studies suggested that the reaction proceeded via an "ene-then-yne" pathway. Kinetic studies indicated switching of the rate-determining step as a consequence of the presence of an allylic hydroxy group. These results suggest acceleration of the reentry step of Ru-carbene species by the allylic hydroxy group.
