<b><u>Abstract:</u></b> A retrosynthetic disconnection-reconnection analysis of epoxypolyenes – substrates that can undergo cyclization to podocarpane-type tricycles – reveals relay-actuated Δ<sup>6,7</sup>-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols for ruthenium benzylidene catalyzed olefin cross metathesis with homoprenyl benzenes. Successful implementation of this approach provided several epoxypolyenes as expected (<i>E</i>:<i>Z</i>, ca. 2-3:1). The method is further generalized for the cross metathesis of pre-existing trisubstituted olefins in other relay-actuated Δ<sup>6,7</sup>-functionalized monoterpenoid alcohols with various other trisubstituted alkenes to form new trisubstituted olefins. Epoxypolyene cyclization of an enantiomerically pure, but geometrically impure, epoxypolyene substrate provides an enantiomerically pure, trans-fused, podocarpane-type tricycle (from the <i>E</i>-geometrical isomer).<br>

(R)-Harmonine was synthesised in 15 % overall yield via a six-step sequence exploiting a Z-selective cross-metathesis reaction as its centrepiece. By this strategy, the cis-olefin present in the target could be installed exclusively. The use of an alcohol and an ester as the amine precursors was crucial for isolating the cross-metathesis product from the self-metathesis products. This method was also used to prepare two novel analogues of harmonine.

A detailed DFT study of the mechanism of metathesis of fluoroethene, 1-fluoroethene, 1,1-difluoroethene, cis- and trans-1,2-difluoroethene, tetrafluoroethene and chlorotrifluoroethene catalysed with the Hoveyda–Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst was performed. It revealed that a successful metathesis of hydrofluoroethenes is hampered by a high preference for a non-productive catalytic cycle proceeding through a ruthenacyclobutane intermediate bearing fluorines in positions 2 and 4. Moreover, the calculations showed that the cross-metathesis of perfluoro- or perhaloalkenes should be a feasible process and that the metathesis is not very sensitive to stereochemical issues.

The combination of intermolecular enyne cross metathesis and subsequent 1,4-hydrogenation opens a stereocontrolled and atom-economic access to trisubstituted olefins. By investigating different combinations of functionalized alkyne and alkene substrates, we found that the outcome (yield, E/Z ratio) of the Grubbs II-catalyzed enyne cross-metathesis step depends on the substrate’s structure, the amount of the alkene (used in excess), and the (optional) presence of ethylene. In any case, the 1,4-hydrogenation, catalyzed by 1,2-di­methoxybenzene-Cr(CO)3, proceeds stereospecifically to yield exclusively the E-products from both the E- and Z-1,3-diene intermediates obtained by metathesis. A rather broad scope and functional group compatibility of the method is demonstrated by means of 15 examples.
