52. a) RCM, when applied to the macrocyclic series, tends to give mixtures of both geometrical isomers at the newly formed double bond, with the (E)-alkene usually prevailing. This makes it highly unlikely that the (Z)-configured olefin embedded into latrunculin B can be formed by this method with any reasonable degree of selectivity. The formation of the 1,3-diene system of latrunculin A by RCM might prove even more problematic due to the sometimes indiscriminative nature of the standard alkene metathesis catalysts for activation of either of the multiple bonds of 1,3-diene substrates. Therefore, we favored a sequence comprising ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) followed by Lindlar reduction of the resulting cycloalkyne because it avoids such ambiguities. For a more detailed discussion of the background of metathesis-based diene syntheses, see ref. [51]; for general reviews on RCM see inter alia:

119. This must be seen in the light of the fact that steric hindrance close to a double bond can be a significant obstacle in conventional alkene metathesis: the same pertains to sulfur-containing compounds, which are usually problematic in alkene metathesis, cf. ref. [28b-h].

143. Such iron catalyzed C-C-bond formations can be performed on a multigram scale without difficulty, provided the nucleophile is added rapidly to the reaction mixture to avoid complications by competing Michael addition/elimination reactions. The Grignard reagent 49 can undergo an uncatalyzed 1,4-additon to enoate 10b followed by elimination of HOTf. This sequence affords the undesired (E)-isomer of 50. which is difficult to separate from (Z)-50 by standard means.
