Graphical Abstract

Asymmetrische 1,4-, 1,5- und 1,6-Induktion: Diastereoselektive Ringschlussmetathese-Reaktionen, bei denen eine temporäre Siloxaneinheit genutzt wird, sind eine neue Strategie für weit reichende asymmetrische Induktion. Mit dieser Methode lassen sich cis-konfigurierte siebengliedrige Ringe des im Schema gezeigten Typs herstellen (n=0, d.r.=20:1); bei Verwendung längerer Alkenylgruppen (n=1–4) kehrt sich die Diastereoselektivität zugunsten des trans-Isomers um.
