Alkene Metathesis: Synthesis of Panaxytriol (Lee), Isofagomine (Imahori and Takahata), Elatol (Stoltz), 5-F2t -Isoprostane (Snapper), and Ottelione B (Clive)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Alkene metathesis has been used to prepare more and more challenging natural products. The first and second generation Grubbs catalysts 1 and 2 and the Hoveyda catalyst 3 are the most widely used. Daesung Lee of the University of Illinois at Chicago designed (Organic Lett. 2008, 10, 257) a clever chain-walking cross metathesis, combining 4 and 5 to make 6. The diyne 3 was carried on (3R, 9R, 10R )-Panaxytriol 7. Tatsushi Imahori and Hiroki Takahata of Tohoku Pharmaceutical University found (Tetrahedron Lett. 2008, 49, 265) that of the several derivatives investigated, the unprotected alcohol 8 cyclized most efficiently. Selective cleavage of the monosubstituted alkene followed by hydroboration delivered the alkaloid Isofagomine 10. Brian M. Stoltz of Caltech established (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008 , 130 , 810) the absolute configuration of the halogenated chamigrene Elatol 14 using the enantioselective enolate allylation that he had previously devised. A key feature of this synthesis was the stereocontrolled preparation of the cis bromohydrin. Marc L. Snapper of Boston College opened (J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 3754) the strained cyclobutene 15 with ethylene to give the diene 16. Remarkably, cross metathesis with 17 delivered 18 with high regioselectivity, setting the stage for the preparation of the 5-F2t - Isoprostane 19. Derrick L. J. Clive of the University of Alberta assembled (J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 3078) Ottelione B 26 from the enantiomerically-pure aldehyde 20. Conjugate addition of the Grignard reagent 21 derived from chloroprene gave the kinetic product 22, that was equilibrated to the more stable 23. Addition of vinyl Grignard followed by selective ring-closing metathesis then led to 26.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
