34. Successful metathesis cyclizations took place only when the Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst was used. All other metathesis catalysts gave no product.
35. The effects of titanium additives for metathesis reactions have previously been reported, but none are as dramatic as the example discussed herein. See also: a) A. Fürstner, K. Langemann, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 9130-9136;

41. Independently of this study, we have converted diol 28 into 22 in five steps (bisepoxidation, acetylation, dehydration, allylic oxidation, and oxidation).
42. To further highlight the fine balance needed for a successful cyclization, it is worth noting that the correct C12-hydroxy isomer does not undergo ring-closing metathesis.
43. The substrate-controlled reduction of the ketone can be explained by the geminal dimethyl group on the ring, which blocks the hydride delivery from what might otherwise be considered the less-hindered face.

47. Interestingly, the C9=C10 trisubstituted bond could be cleanly inverted to the cis epoxide using this same sequence after initially epoxidizing C5=C6. This bisepoxide was subjected to Tsuji's allylic transposition and readily underwent allylic oxidation.

50. All nonrigidified substrates failed to cyclize using any of the known ruthenium metathesis catalysts. Other diol diastereoisomers were also accessed and evaluated, but these also failed to cyclize.
