The synthesis of E-macrocycles is achieved using stereoretentive, Ru-based olefin metathesis catalysts supported by dithiolate ligands. Kinetic studies elucidate marked differences in activity among the catalysts tested, with catalyst 4 providing meaningful yields of products in much shorter reaction times than stereoretentive catalysts 2 and 3. Macrocycles were generated with excellent selectivity (>99% E) and in moderate to high yields (47-80% yield) from diene starting materials bearing two E-configured olefins. A variety of rings were constructed, ranging from 12- to 18-membered macrocycles, including the antibiotic recifeiolide.

Ironing out the kinks: Efficient new catalytic systems based on iron thiolates are described for the iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkyl Grignard reagents with alkenyl halides (see scheme). The reaction is highly chemo- and stereoselective. With this new procedure, the use of N-methylpyrrolidone as a co-solvent is no longer required. Copyright

Hydrogen transfer hydroalumination of terminal alkenes and dienes can be achieved with 1.1 equiv. of (i-Bu)3Al and catalytic amounts of Cl2Pd(PPh3)2 and other late transition metal complexes containing Co, Rh, Ni, and Pt at ambient temperature in high yields.
INSECT SEX PHEROMONES. STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF SEVERAL (Z)- AND (E)-ALKEN-1-OLS, THEIR ACETATES, AND OF (9Z,12E)-9,12-TETRADECADIEN-1-YL ACETATE

Several female sex pheromone components produced by moths belonging to the order of Lepidoptera, and potential attractants of Dacus oleae (Diptera:Tripetidae) have been synthesized in high chemical and stereoisomeric purity by improved acetylenic routes involving alkylation of lithium 1-alkyn-1-ides in HMPT, followed by (Z) and (E) highly stereoselective reduction of the derived internal alkynes.Particular care has been paid to optimize the parameters of the reactions used and to evaluate the chemical and isomeric purity of the reaction products.The compounds synthesized include (Z)- and (E)-5-nonen-1-ol, (Z)- and (E)-7-dodecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)- and (E)-7-teradecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)- and (E)-7-nonen-1-ol, (Z)- and (E)-9-tetradecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)- and (E)-10-tetradecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)- and (E)-11-tetradecen-1-yl acetate.Pure (Z)-6-nonen-1-ol, which is an attractant of olive fruit fly, D. oleae, and very probably, a constituent of the sex pheromone of females of this insect, has been prepared by a rather efficient copper-catalyzed reaction between (Z)-3-hexen-1-ylmagnesium bromide and oxetane. (9Z,12E)-9,12-Tetradecadien-1-yl acetate, which is the pheromone of Anagasta kuenniella, Ephestia elutella, Cadra figulella, Spodoptera exigua, S. litura, and a component of the sex pheromones of several other Lepidoptera, has been conveniently prepared by using the copper-catalyzed coupling reaction between (E)-1-chloro-2-butene and 10-tetrahydropyranyloxy-1-decenylmagnesium bromide, followed by acetylation and Z-stereoselective reduction of the derived 1,4-enyne.All syntheses have been conducted on a scale to yield less than 50 mmol of the pure sex pheromone components, but seem adaptable for much larger quantities.
