We initially attempted the RCM approach employing first and second generation Grubbs and Grubbs-Hoyeda catalysts resulting in the exclusive synthesis of the Z-isomer of Cytospolide E. With the Furstner catalyst, the dimerization involving the less hindered olefin was the exclusive event. Alternative approach documented is a successful cross-metathesis leading to a seco-acid with the requisite E-configuration and undesired macrodiolide formation during the attempted Shiina's lactonization.
