  abstract  = {alpha,beta-Unsaturated d-lactones are accessible via a sequential ring-closing metathesis (RCM) double-bond migration reaction starting from butenoates of allyl alcohols. This approach proceeds efficiently with lower catalyst loadings and higher initial substrate concentrations compared to the alternative RCM of acrylates derived from homoallylic alcohols.},

  abstract  = {Starting from the conveniently available ex-chiral pool building block (R,R)-hexa-1,5-diene-3,4-diol, the ten-membered ring lactones stagonolide E and curvulide A were synthesized using a bidirectional olefin-metathesis functionalization of the terminal double bonds. Key steps are (i) a site-selective cross metathesis, (ii) a highly diastereoselective extended tethered RCM to furnish a (Z,E)-configured dienyl carboxylic acid and (iii) a Ru-lipase-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution to establish the desired configuration at C9. Ring closure was accomplished by macrolactonization. Curvulide A was synthesized from stagonolide E through Sharpless epoxidation.},
