TY - JOUR A1 - Schmidt, Bernd A1 - Kunz, Oliver T1 - One-Flask tethered ring closing Metathesis-Electrocyclic ring opening for the highly stereoselective synthesis of conjugated Z/E-Dienes T2 - European journal of organic chemistry N2 - A one-flask reaction sequence comprising ring closing metathesis (RCM) of butenoates derived from allylic alcohols and a base-mediated ring opening gives 2Z,4E-configured dienoic acids in high yields and stereoselectivities. Application of the method to the synthesis of the natural product fusanolide A suggests that the originally published structure was erroneously assigned and should be revised.
