Abstract

Enyne Metathesis Approach Towards the Cyclopentane Motif of Jatrophane Diterpenes. -The synthesis of the cyclopentane subunit (IV) of jatrophane diterpenes is described using Grubbs' enyne metathesis of alkyne (I) and stereoselective Pd-catalyzed ring opening of the epoxide (III) as key steps. -(LENTSCH, C.; FUERST, R.; RINNER*, U.; Synlett 24 (2013) 20, 2665-2670, http://dx.
