  Abstract

In this account, three synthetic methodologies that serve as the basis for new strategies for the preparation of selected natural products are briefly introduced. One process, involving ruthenium carbene catalyzed ring rearrangement metathesis developed by Grubbs and his coworkers, transforms alkene-tethered cycloalkenes to thermodynamically more favored alkene-tethered cycloalkenes. Another ruthenium carbene promoted reaction, referred to as dienyne metathesis, was uncovered in early studies by Grubbs and his collaborators. This process converts dienynes to fused bicyclic conjugated dienes. Finally, a novel photo-electrocyclization reaction of pyridinium salts, which leads to the formation of 4-aminocyclopenten-3,5-diol derivatives, is discussed. Examples are provided to show the utility of these methodologies in natural product synthesis. Emphasis is given to studies in which pyridinium salt photochemistry is coupled with ring rearrangement and dienyne metathesis in routes for the synthesis of polyhydroxyalted indolizidine alkaloids and the construction of the tricyclic core of the lepadiformine and cylindricine alkaloids.
