Abstract

Enantioselective conjugate addition of styrylboronic acid to dienones was effectively catalyzed by an O-monoacyltartaric acid to afford monostyrylated products with good enantioselectivity. The RCM of the monostyrylated products using the Hoveyda-Grubbs II catalyst afforded optically active cyclopentenones, including a synthetic intermediate of the antitumor agent TEI-9826. The study shows that a diene additive such as 1,6-heptadiene or diallyl ether was essential for the RCM.
