Grubbs's Cross Metathesis of Eugenol with cis-2-butene-1, 4-diol to Make a Natural Product: An Organometallic Experiment for the Undergraduate Lab
Taber, Douglass F.; Frankowski, Kevin J.
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n2 p283 Feb 2006
A modified experimental procedure for the one-step synthesis that is suitable for the undergraduate organic lab is presented. In the course of work towards the more routine use of air-sensitive organometallic complexes such as the Grubb's catalyst, the natural product (E)-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) but-2-en-ol, 4, was synthesized.
