title: Synthesis of a key precursor for orienticin C and model study on ruthenium-mediated macrocyclization.
abstract: A tripeptido--arene--ruthenium complex was prepared as a key precursor for the projected synthesis of orienticin C, demonstrating that the cyclopentadienylruthenium moiety can be attached to a chloroarene in the presence of multiple functionality. The ruthenium-mediated intramolecular SNAr reaction for formation of the required diaryl ether linkage was successfully tested on a model system.
