Phosphate-tether-mediated ring-closing metathesis for the preparation of complex 1,3-anti-diol-containing subunits.

ABSTRACT: An array of examples of diastereoselective, phosphate-tether-mediated ring-closing metathesis reactions, which highlight the importance of product ring size and substrate stereochemical compatibility, as well as complexity, is reported. Studies focus primarily on the formation of bicyclo[n.3.1]phosphates, involving the coupling of C₂-symmetric dienediol subunits with a variety of simple, as well as complex, alcohol partners.
