E. Jo et al., A highly efficient synthesis of (S)-(+)-N-Boc-coniine using ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM), TETRAHEDR L, 40(30), 1999, pp. 5581-5582
Optically active (S)-(+)-coniine as an N-Boc protected form was concisely p
repared starting from an amino acid, L-norvaline. The key step involved a r
ing-closing olefin metathesis (RCM) of the dialkenyl compound 6 to give the
corresponding cyclic olefin 8 in an essentially quantitative yield. (C) 19
