Abstract
Abstract Ene–yne cross metathesis was assessed for use as a key fragment coupling in a planned total synthesis of amphidinolide P. A terminal alkyne containing a β,γ-epoxide was synthesized and employed as the alkyne partner in an intermolecular ene–yne metathesis. In the alkene substrate, optimal functionality and reaction conditions were determined. An unprotected allyl alcohol was found to be critical for both high yield and high E-selectivity. Fewer equivalents of the alkene resulted in incomplete reaction and side reactions consumed the terminal alkyne. The best ruthenium carbene precatalysts were found to be the Hoveyda–Grubbs carbene complexes.
