Abstract

(equation presented) A concise total synthesis of (±)-differolide (1) has been achieved. 2-Vinylbutenolide (2) was prepared by enyne metathesis of allyl propynoate (3) usinq the Grubbs initiator 4. This reaction was examined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy, which led to the hypothesis that low concentration of ruthenium species and high concentration of enyne substrate would be advantageous. Accordingly, slow addition of 4 to solutions of enyne 3 was found to be beneficial. Spontaneous dimerization of 2 gave (±)-differolide (1) and an isomer.
