Abstract

∆¹²-Prostaglandin J family is a type of secondary metabolite isolated in cell culture, and is recently discovered to have potent anticancer activity. Concise syntheses of four ∆¹²-prostaglandin J natural products (7–8 steps in the longest linear sequences) are developed, enabled by convergent stereoretentive cross-metathesis by Ru-based metathesis catalyst. Exceptional control of alkene geometry was achieved through stereoretention.
