The olefin cross-metathesis reaction has been sequenced with four common organic transformations in a one- or two-pot manner to rapidly access useful building blocks. Those reactions are: (1) phosphorus-based olefination (e.g., Wittig and Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons); (2) hydride reduction; (3) Evans propionate aldol reaction; (4) Brown allyl- and Roush crotyl-boration. The products of these reactions include stereodefined 2,4-dienoates, trans allylic alcohols, syn-propionate aldols, and chiral non-racemic homoallylic alcohols, respectively. Many of these intermediates have been carried further to natural products, demonstrating the utility of the methodology.
