(2S,3S)-[1-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-3-(4-methoxy-3-vinylphen-
oxy)prolyl]isoleucine-allylamide 20. To a solution of N-Boc-
isoleucine-allylamide 13 (80 mg, 0.30 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (6 mL)
was added anhydrous zinc(II) bromide (304 mg, 1.35 mmol) at 0
°C. The resulting white slurry was vigorously stirred at 0 °C for 1
h, slowly warmed to rt, stirred for another 1 h, and concentrated.
Carboxylic acid 4 (100 mg, 0.275 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole
(HOBt, 36 mg, 0.0.31 mmol), and DMF (5 mL) were next added
to the resulting white solid. After complete dissolution of all solids,
1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC,
60 mg, 0.31 mmol) and N-methylmorpholine (76 µL, 0.69 mmol)
were next added at 0 °C, and the solution was stirred for 16 h while
being progressively warmed to rt. The yellow reaction mixture was
quenched with water and diluted with ether. The aqueous layer was
extracted with ether, and the combined organic layers were
successively washed with a 1 M HCl aqueous solution, a saturated
aqueous solution of NaHCO3, and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered,
and concentrated. The crude residue was finally purified by flash
chromatography over silica gel (petroleum ether/AcOEt: 3/7) to
yield the desired acyclic allylamide 20 as a white glassy solid (130

Typical Procedure for Ene-Enamide RCM Reaction. A 25
mL round-bottom flask was charged with vinyl enamide derivative
16a-d (0.07 mmol). The flask was fitted with a condenser,
evacuated under high vacuum, and backfilled with argon. Dry and
degassed 1,2-dichloroethane (15 mL) and benzylidene[1,3-
bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene]dichloro(t-
ricyclohexylphosphine)ruthenium (Grubbs’ second-generation cata-
lyst, 6 mg, 0.007 mmol) were successively added, and the resulting
purple reaction mixture was refluxed for 24 h. Another portion of
Grubbs’ second-generation catalyst (6 mg, 0.007 mmol) was then
added, and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 24 h, cooled to
rt, left open to air for 1 h, concentrated, and directly purified by
flash chromatography over silica gel.
