Two antiglaucoma drugs, bimatoprost and latanoprost, which are analogues of the prostaglandin, PGF, have been synthesized in just 7 and 8 steps, respectively. The syntheses employ an organocatalytic aldol reaction that converts succinaldehyde into a key bicyclic enal intermediate, which is primed for attachment of the required lower and upper side chains. By utilizing the crystalline lactone, the drug molecules were prepared in >99% ee.

Now even terminal: The 2,4,6-trimethylbenzylidyne complexes [MesC[TRIPLE BOND]M{OC(CF3)2Me}3] (M=Mo, W) were synthesized from [Mo(CO)6] and [W(CO)6], respectively. The molybdenum complex is an efficient catalyst for the metathesis of internal and terminal alkynes and also for the ring-closing metathesis of internal and terminal α,ω-diynes at room temperature and low catalyst concentrations.

The Negishi cross-coupling is a powerful CC bond forming reaction. The method is less commonly used relative to other cross-coupling methods in part due to lack of availability of organozinc species. While organozinc species can be prepared, problems with reproducibility and handling of these sensitive species can complicate these reactions. Herein, we describe the continuous formation, using an activated packed-bed of metallic zinc, and subsequent use of organozinc halides. We demonstrate that a single column of zinc can provide excellent yields of organozinc halides and that they can be used downstream in subsequent Negishi cross-couplings. The preparation of the zinc column and the scope of the reaction are discussed.
