Abstract

Starting from spiroepoxide 1, divinylcyclopentanyl derivatives possessing an allylic or a propargylic substituent were obtained. The ring closing metathesis reaction of these compounds using the Grubbs’ catalyst provided the corresponding bicyclic compounds in good yields and with a good stereoselectivity.

Representative Procedure for the RCM Reaction: To a solution of 6a,b or 7a,b (0.72 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added Cl2(PCy3)2Ru=CHPh (0.036 mmol) under argon. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1-3 h (see Table [1] ), concentrated and the residue purified by flash chromatography.
