Different enynols and propargyl derivatives were sumitted to radical hydrostannylation (Bu3SnH/AIBN), Pd(0)-catalyzed [Bu3SnH/Pd(0)], stannylcupration [Bu3Sn(R)CuCNLi2] conditions. Except for the stannylation reaction, high regio- stereoselective formation of vinyl- dienylstannanes are obtained. Results tentatively explained in terms steric Interactions between alkyne or enyne substituents palladium cuprate moieties different reaction intermediates.

Abstract (E) ‐Alkene units are frequently found in macrocyclic natural products. Among the reactions that form double bond during cyclization, classical Horner–Emmons coupling is still used with success. During last decade, ring‐closing metathesis has emerged as a very powerful tool for synthesis of large rings, but E / Z selectivity, which rarely predictable, depends on many factors will be discussed this review. The best solution might two‐step procedure involving alkyne (RCAM) followed by...

Abstract This article covers case studies in natural product syntheses with comments on various aspects of metathesis reactions and how the difficulties encountered these have led to better understanding or more effective reaction conditions catalysts. Ring‐closingmetathesis leading small medium‐sized rings is discussed, followed by macrocycle formation, asymmetric ring‐closing metathesis, cross metathesis.

The use of olefin cross metathesis in preparing functional polymers, through either pre-functionalisation monomers or post-polymerisation functionalisation is growing both scope and breadth, as discussed this review article.

Grubbs' and Schrock's catalysts can be used in ring-closing metathesis reactions (RCM) to synthesize highly functionalized cyclooctenes that have the required stereochemistry for C1, C2, C8 centers of taxol. The unprecedented formation a trans isomer case carbonate derivative (see scheme) indicates RCM does not always proceed complete thermodynamic equilibrium.

Applied to the new iron(II) compound Fe(t-msbpy)2(NCS)2 (t-msbpy=4-methyl-4′-trans-styryl-2,2′-bipyridine), a novel strategy based on so-called ''ligand-driven light-induced spin change'' (or LD-LISC) effect, which consists in triggering metal ion electronic spin-state crossover complex by photochemical modification of ligand, allowed this photomagnetic effect be observed for first time at room temperature. The compound, studied CH3CN or CD3CN, was found initially nearly diamagnetic (S=0)...

Hydrophilic polymers have found ubiquitous use in drug delivery and novel polymer materials to advance systems are highly sought after. Herein, an amylose mimic (PEGose) was combined with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) amphiphilic block copolymer form PEG-free nanoparticles as alternative PEG-based nanomedicines. The self-assembled into 150-200 nm particles a narrow dispersity aqueous environment. formed were capable of encapsulation, the sustained release both hydrophilic hydrophobic dyes....

During our studies toward the synthesis of ABC ring system hexacyclinic acid, we have observed a dramatic influence solvent on both key steps. The diastereoselectivity intermolecular Michael addition could be totally reversed by changing polarity solvent, and trifluoroethanol was found to optimal for following Mn(III)-promoted radical cyclization.

Highly functionalized BC ring-systems of Taxol® having the required chemistry for C1, C2 and C8 centers have been synthesized using a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction as key step. Silylene 26 acetonide 27 were obtained in excellent yields with Schrock's our recently reported catalyst. In case carbonate 23, trans cyclooctene was formed when Grubbs' catalyst, indicating that RCM does not always proceed to completion thermodynamic equilibrium.

BC ring-systems of taxol with different or no protecting group for the C1,C2-diol moiety have been efficiently synthesized. The eight-membered B ring is formed by a ring-closing metathesis reaction (RCM) between C10 and C11 carbon atoms. influence 1,2-diol on RCM has studied in detail.

An efficient enantioselective synthesis of the ABC tricyclic core anticancer drug Taxol is reported. The key step this a cascade metathesis reaction, which leads in one operation to required tricycle if appropriate fine-tuning dienyne precursor performed.

A highly functionalized intermediate in the synthesis of Taxol has been synthesized, which features tricyclic core and required oxygen substituents at C1, C2, C7, C10, C13. The key step, a ring-closing dienyne metathesis (RCDEYM) reaction, thoroughly optimized to favor product over undesired bicyclic resulting from diene metathesis.

Tricyclic isotaxane and taxane derivatives have been synthesized by a very efficient cascade ring-closing dienyne metathesis (RCDEYM) reaction, which formed the A B rings in one operation. When alkyne is present at C13 (with no neighboring gem-dimethyl group), RCEDYM reaction leads to 14,15-isotaxanes 16 a,b 18 b with group on ring. If C11 position (and thus flanked only proceeds presence of trisubstituted olefin C13, disfavors competing diene give tricyclic core Taxol 44.

A domino metathesis strategy has been successfully applied to the straightforward stereocontrolled construction of functionalized tricyclic systems different ring sizes starting from readily available precursors.

The A ring of FR182877, exemplified by ent-4-b,c, has been synthesized, involving an enyne RCM as the key step. systematic comparison vs diene for formation cyclopentene derivatives showed that latter metathesis proceeds much more easily even this size.

Poloxamers are amphiphilic block copolymers consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(propylene segments. Their self-assembly interfacial properties tied to the relative hydrophilicity hydrophobicity each can therefore be adjusted by changing lengths. Here, a series PEG-polycycloether is synthesized that have same structure as poloxamer, but they encompass rigid polycyclic backbone hydrophobic block. A variety polymer structures synthesized, for example diblock or triblock...
