Abstract

The synthesis of β-unsubstituted, anti-allylic alcohols using a catalytic Evans aldol reaction conjoined with a relay-type ring-closing alkene metathesis is reported. The metathesis step serves to remove a β-alkenyl group, which facilitated the aldol step. The β-substituted enals serve as acrolein surrogates. The products were employed in ene-yne cross metathesis.
