Unsymmetrical maleates from stereoselective decomposition of diazoesters using Grubbs' 2nd-generation Ru carbene catalyst

A range of unsymmetrical cis-2-ene-1,4-diesters has been synthesized from two different α-diazoacetates using Grubbs' 2nd-generation catalyst (0.5 mol%, RT, 12-16 h). Formation of the enediesters occurred with high stereoselectivity (≥95% cis). © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
