Recent Advances on the Synthesis of Piperidines through Ruthenium-Catalyzed Ring-Closing Metathesis (RCM) Reactions

Abstract

Ring-closing metathesis reactions of dialkenyl amines, amides and carbamates catalyzed by Ru-catalysts provide efficient approaches to six-membered nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, which are precursors of a variety of natural products and related compounds.
