Abstract
ConspectusIn this Account, we share the story of the development of catalytic olefin metathesis processes that efficiently deliver a wide range of acyclic and macrocyclic E- or Z-trisubstituted alkenes. The tale starts with us unveiling, in collaboration with Richard Schrock and his team, the blueprint in 2009 for the design of kinetically controlled Z-selective olefin metathesis reactions. This paved the way for the development of Mo-, W-, and Ru-based catalysts and strategies for synthesizing countless linear and macrocyclic Z-olefins. Six years later, in 2015, we found that abundant Z-alkene feedstocks, such as oleic acid, can be directly transformed to high-value and more difficult-to-access alkenes through a cross-metathesis reaction promoted by a Ru-catechothiolate complex that we had developed; the approach, later coined stereoretentive olefin metathesis, was extended to the synthesis of E-alkenes.It was all about disubstituted alkenes until when in 2017 we addressed the challenge of accessing stereodefined Z- and E-trisubstituted alkenes, key to medicine and materials research. These transformations can be most effectively catalyzed by Mo monoaryloxides pyrrolide (MAP) and chloride (MAC) complexes. A central aspect of the advance is the merging of olefin metathesis, which delivered trisubstituted alkenyl fluorides, chlorides, and bromides with cross-coupling. These catalytic and stereoretentive transformations can be used in various combinations, thereby enabling access to assorted Z- or E-trisubstituted alkene. Ensuing work led to the emergence of other transformations involving substrates that can be purchased with high stereoisomeric purity, notably E- and Z-trihalo alkenes. Trisubstituted olefins, Z or E, bearing a chemoselectively and stereoretentively alterable F,Cl-terminus or B(pin),Cl-terminus may, thus, be easily and reliably synthesized. Methods for stereoretentive preparation of other alkenyl bromide regioisomers and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic and thiol esters, nitriles, and acid fluorides followed, along with stereoretentive ring-closing metathesis reactions that afford macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins. Z- and E-Macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins, including those that contain little or no entropic support for cyclization (minimally functionalized) and/or are disfavored under substrate-controlled conditions, can now be synthesized. The utility of this latest chapter in the history of olefin metathesis has been highlighted by applications to the synthesis of several biologically active compounds, as well as their analogues, such as those marked by one or more site-specifically incorporated fluorine atoms or more active but higher energy and otherwise unobtainable conformers.The investigations discussed here, which represent every stereoretentive method that has been reported thus far for preparing a trisubstituted olefin, underscore the inimitable power of Mo-based catalysts. This Account also showcases a variety of mechanistic attributes─some for the first time, and each instrumental in solving a problem. Extensive knowledge of mechanistic nuances will be needed if we are to address successfully the next challenging problem, namely, the development of catalysts and strategies that may be used to synthesize a wide range of tetrasubstituted alkenes, especially those that are readily modifiable, with high stereoisomeric purity.

Abstract
Catalytic cross-metathesis (CM) reactions that can generate trisubstituted alkenes in high stereoisomeric purity are important but remain limited in scope. Here, CM reactions are introduced that generate Z-trisubstituted α-methyl, α,β-unsaturated, alkyl and aryl esters, thiol esters, and acid fluorides. Transformations are promoted by a Mo bis-aryloxide, a monoaryloxide pyrrolide, or a monoaryloxide chloride complex; air-stable and commercially available paraffin tablets containing a Mo complex may also be used. Alkyl, aryl, and silyl carboxylic esters as well as thiol esters and acid fluoride reagents are either purchasable or can be prepared in one step. Products were obtained in 55-95% yield and in 88:12->98:2 Z/E ratio (typically >95:5). The applicability of the approach is highlighted by a two-step conversion of citronellol to an isomintlactone precursor (1.7 g, 73% yield, and 97:3 Z/E) and a single-step transformation of lanosterol acetate to 3-epi-anwuweizic acid (72% yield and 94:6 Z/E). Included are the outcomes of DFT studies, regarding several initially puzzling catalyst activity trends, providing the following information: (1) it is key that a disubstituted Mo alkylidene, generated by a competing homo-metathesis (HM) pathway, can re-enter the productive CM cycle. (2) Whereas in a CM cycle the formation of a molybdacyclobutane is likely turnover-limiting, the collapse of related metallacycles in a HM cycle is probably rate-determining. It is therefore the relative energy barrier required for these steps that determines whether CM or HM is dominant with a particular complex.

Abstract
Olefin cross-metathesis is a cornerstone reaction in organic synthesis where stereoselectivity is typically governed by the structure of the catalyst. In this work, we show that merging Grubbs second generation catalyst, a classical E-selective catalyst, with a readily available photocatalyst, enables the exclusive formation of the contra-thermodynamic Z-isomer. The scope and limitations of this unprecedented approach are discussed based on both computational and experimental mechanistic data. Light is magic! The combination of Grubbs second generation catalyst, a well-known catalyst for E-selective olefin metathesis, with a photosensitizer enables efficient access to the contra-thermodynamic Z-isomers.![]()

Abstract
α-Oxygenated Z-olefins are ubiquitous in biologically active molecules and serve as versatile handles for organic synthesis, but their syntheses are often tedious and less selective. Here we report the efficient Z-selective metathesis of various terminal acrylates and allyl alcohols, which enables facile and selective construction of high value-added α-oxygenated Z-olefins from readily available feedstock chemicals. These challenging metathesis transformations are enabled by novel cyclometalated Ru-carbene-nitrate complexes bearing bulky-yet-flexible side arms, whose assembly was unlocked by new organometallic syntheses.

Abstract
An alternative synthesis of α,ß-unsaturated hydroxamates via cross metathesis between a class-I olefin and N-benzyloxyacrylamide is reported. The reaction proceeds better in the presence of Grubbs’ second generation catalyst within short time and in good yields (57–85%) with a range of substrates. Subsequent hydrogenation of each of the CM products delivers the title compounds in moderate to very good yield (70–89%). An important demonstration of the protocol is the preparation of the unusual amino acid component of the bioactive cyclic peptide Chap-31.

Abstract
We report a method for the selective α,β-dehydrogenation of amides in the presence of other carbonyl moieties under mild conditions. Our strategy relies on electrophilic activation coupled to in situ selective selenium-mediated dehydrogenation. The α,β-unsaturated products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, and their synthetic versatility was demonstrated by a range of transformations. Mechanistic experiments suggest formation of an electrophilic SeIV species.

Abstract
In a conceptually different approach, highly stereoselective 2-oxonia-Cope rearrangement reactions between rationally designed nonracemic vinylogous aldolation synthons and aldehydes are described to provide δ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated esters with excellent enantioselectivities and, for the first time, unprecedented Z- and E-selectivities without the regioselectivity issue.

Abstract
A well-defined Ir-allyl complex catalyzes the Z-selective cross-coupling of allyl carbonates with α-aryl diazo esters. The process overrides the large thermodynamic preference for E-products typically observed in metal-mediated coupling reactions to enable the synthesis of Z,E-dieneoates in good yield with selectivities consistently approaching or greater than 90 : 10. This transformation represents the first productive merger of Ir-carbene and Ir-allyl species, which are commonly encountered intermediates in allylation and cyclopropanation/E-H insertion catalysis. Potentially reactive functional groups (aryl halides, ketones, nitriles, olefins, amines) are tolerated owing to the mildness of reaction conditions. Kinetic analysis of the reaction suggests oxidative addition of the allyl carbonate to an Ir-species is rate-determining. Mechanistic studies uncovered a pathway for catalyst activation mediated by NEt3.

Abstract
Olefin chemistry, through pericyclic reactions, polymerizations, oxidations, or reductions, plays an essential role in the foundation of how organic matter is manipulated.1 Despite its importance, olefin synthesis still largely relies upon chemistry invented more than three decades ago, with metathesis2 being the most recent addition. Here we describe a simple method to access olefins with any substitution pattern or geometry from one of the most ubiquitous and variegated building blocks of chemistry: alkyl carboxylic acids. The same activating principles used in amide-bond synthesis can thus be employed, under Ni- or Fe-based catalysis, to extract CO2 from a carboxylic acid and economically replace it with an organozinc-derived olefin on mole scale. Over sixty olefins across a range of substrate classes are prepared, and the ability to simplify retrosynthetic analysis is exemplified with the preparation of sixteen different natural products across a range of ten different families.
