Abstract

Summary: Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of ene-ynamide, which could be applied to the synthesis of various heterocycles containing 7- and 8-membered rings, was investigated. Ene-ynamides are easily synthesized by the known method. When a toluene solution of ene-ynamide was stirred in the presence of a catalytic amount of second-generation ruthenium carbene complex 1 under an ethylene atmosphere, RCM proceeded smoothly to provide a heterocyclic compound having a diene moiety in good to high yield. A substituent of the ynamide moiety affected the yield of the cyclized product.
