Abstract
The cross-metathesis reactions between various olefins can be sequenced with a series of non-metathesis reactions, such as the Wittig and Horner—Wadsworth—Emmons olefination to access stereodefined dienoates, the hydride-mediated reduction to give trans-allylic alcohols, the Evans aldol reaction to prepare diastereomerically pure syn-propionate aldols and the Brown allyl- and Roush crotylboration to yield enantioenriched homoallylic alcohols (to be continued).
