29. (a) The synthesis described by Naito et al. requires nine steps and includes the resolution of racemic 3 as the final steps, cf. ref 7. (b) Very recently, an RCM-based approach to 3 has been reported that is distictly different from our one; it makes use of D-serine as the starting material and comprises a 14-step linear sequence, cf. ref 12a.

49. 3 as shown in Scheme 4. Originally, it was believed that the complex thus formed is a ruthenium allenylidene species: cf. Harlow, K. J.; Hill, A. F.; Winton-Ely, J. D. E. T. J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans. 1999, 285. More detailed study, however, has shown that it is the rearranged product, i.e., the indenylidene ruthenium complex 18: cf. Hill, A. F.; Fürstner, A.; Liebl, M.; Mynott, R.; Gabor, B.; Jafarpour, L.; Nolan, S. P., manuscript in preparation.
