摘要
We describe the Ru-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of a densely functionalized diene leading to the 15-membered ring of HCV protease inhibitor BILN 2061. The evaluation of several catalysts led us to the discovery of a new epimerization reaction which plagued our initial attempts to scale-up the reaction. A mechanistic study of this side reaction is described. Factors that may contribute to render our RCM sub-optimal were identified in the low initiation rate of the best catalyst (first-generation Hoveyda), to yield what seems to be a highly stabilized and perhaps catalytically inactive intermediate. Preliminary efforts to affect the initiation site by substrate modification are also discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
