Graphical Abstract
  • complex [RuCl2(=CHPh)(SIMes)(PCy3)], CuCl, and dHbipy (SIMes is 1,3-dimesitylimidazolin-2-ylidene, dHbipy is 4,4'-di-n-heptyl-2,2'-bipyridine) was able to promote the ATRA of trichloroacetic acid onto cyclopentadiene followed by a lactonization into 3,3-dichloro-3,3a,4,6a-tetrahydro-2H-cyclopenta[b]furan
  • -2-one (18). These results prompted us to examine the cascade RCM/decomposition/ATRA/lactonization of substrate 16 into dichloro compound 18 with homobimetallic complex 1 under mild thermolysis conditions. Thus, the substrate and the catalyst precursor (5 mol %) were dissolved in toluene and heated

Graphical Abstract
  • keto and ester moieties kept far apart for lactonization due to trans-geometry of the olefinic linkage) was treated with NaBH4 (4 equiv) in methanol. However, this reaction unexpectedly led to the exclusive formation of 2a. With a smaller amount (2 equiv) of NaBH4 in methanol, compound 1g gave 9 and 2a
  • nucleophilic attack of the hydride is therefore not feasible. As a consequence, the –OH and –COO− are too far apart to interact with each other. Therefore a single bond between the carbinol carbon and carboxylic acid moiety is impossible and hence no possibility of rotation, lactonization and subsequent
  • -oxoester to 1,4-diols was finally established (Scheme 11) when substrate 14 [40] (incapable of lactonization due to distal spatial disposition of the oxo- and methoxycarbonyl moieties imposed by the rigidity of the cyclopropane ring system) underwent selective reduction of the oxo-functionality only under

Graphical Abstract
  • resulting aldol product was desilylated and in situ lactonization gave 110. Removal of the MOM groups afforded longicin (101), which was identical to the natural product on the basis of the reported physical constants [49]. Total synthesis of murisolin Murisolin (111) is a mono-THF acetogenin, isolated from
