Tandem RCM of Dienynes for the Construction of Taxol-Type Carbocyclic Systems

(Matrix presented) Tandem ring-closing metathesis of hydrindanone dienynes allows access to taxosteroids, a new class of compounds that combine the [5.3.1] carbocyclic system of taxanes with rings C and D of the steroid skeleton.

Bidentate auxiliary-directed alkenyl C-H allylation: Via exo-palladacycles: Synthesis of branched 1,4-dienes

An alkenyl C-H allylation by an exo-palladacycle intermediate is demonstrated, employing unactivated (Z)-Alkenes and allyl carbonates. With the use of an 8-Aminoquinoline (AQ) derived amide as the directing group, the N,N-bidentate-chelation-Assisted C-H activation protocol proceeded under mild and oxidant-free conditions with excellent selectivity. The utility of this approach is demonstrated by the preparative scale, selective conversion of inseparable Z/E alkenes and ready removal of the amide auxiliary to provide the corresponding ester.
