Abstract:
This account provides an overview of recent work, including our own contribution dealing with Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling in combination with metathesis (or vice-versa). Several cyclophanes, polycycles, macrocycles, spirocycles, stilbenes, biaryls, and heterocycles have been synthesized by employing a combination of Suzuki cross-coupling and metathesis. Various popular reactions such as Diels-Alder reaction, Claisen rearrangement, cross-metathesis, and cross-enyne metathesis are used. The synergistic combination of these powerful reactions is found to be useful for the construction of complex targets and fulfill synthetic brevity.
