With the help of the smaller brother: Although alkyne metathesis will always be the little brother of alkene metathesis, it allows problems to be solved that are currently beyond reach of the more famous sibling. This notion is exemplified by the tulearin macrolides, which could only be selectively forged by ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM)/transreduction using the latest generation of alkyne metathesis catalysts.

A general procedure for the one-pot synthesis of racemic homoallenyl alcohols from the corresponding aldehyde and chloroprene-derived Grignards is described. Employing bis[2-dimethylaminoethyl]ether (BDMAEE) as an additive at low temperatures shifts the selectivity of the chloroprene Grignard addition to aldehydes such that it is almost exclusive toward allene formation. In a set of follow-up experiments, simple and more elaborate methods for further derivatization have been demonstrated, allowing quick access to more complex structures.

Lactones are known to react with the reagent generated in situ from CCl4 and PPh3 in a Wittig-type fashion to give gem-dichloro-olefin derivatives. Such compounds are now shown to undergo reductive alkylation on treatment with organolithium reagents RLi to furnish acetylene derivatives bearing the substituent R at their termini (R=Me, n-, sec-, tert-alkyl, silyl); the reaction can be catalyzed with either Cu(acac)2 or Fe(acac)3/1,2-diaminobenzene. Two alkynol derivatives prepared in this way from readily accessible lactone precursors served as the key building blocks for the total syntheses of the cytotoxic marine macrolides tulearin A (1) and C (2). The assembly of these fragile targets hinged upon ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) followed by a formal trans-reduction of the resulting cycloalkynes via trans-hydrosilylation/protodesilylation.
