Application

3-Butenoic acid was used in the synthesis of polyethylene glycolated boltorn coatings. It was used to study the inhibition of the enzyme-catalysed conversion of D-tyrosyl- phenylalanyl-glycine to D-tyrosyl-phenylaline amide by non-peptide carboxylic acids. It was used in preparation of strained nitroso Diels-Aldrer adducts which undergo a domino ROC metathesis in the presence of Ru-carbene catalysts and olefins.

[reaction: see text] Strained bicyclic 3,6-dihydro-1,2-oxazine is a reactive substrate in domino metathesis with an external alkene. This general transformation leads to isoxazolo[2,3-a]pyridin-7-one, a versatile scaffold combining chemical functions that could be selectively oxidized or reduced. The synthetic relevance of

A challenging direct asymmetric hydrogenation of (E)-2-oxo-4-arylbut-3-enoic acids to give 2-hydroxy-4-arylbutanoic acids (85.4-91.8% ee) was achieved with a Ru catalyst based on SunPhos as the chiral ligand. Further investigation of the reaction revealed that partial isomerization of 2-hydroxy-4-arylbutenoic acids was
