Significance
Aliskiren is a novel renin inhibitor that is prescribed for the treatment of hypertension. This short and elegant synthesis features the construction of a nine-membered ring by ring-closing metathesis to give B followed by an acid-catalyzed rearrangement of the aziridine C to give pyrrolidine D in 81% yield.
