General description

Methyl 3-butenoate is an olefin ester. It is reported to undergo Iron carbonyl-promoted isomerization to afford α, β-unsaturated esters. It is one of the reaction products formed during flash vacuum thermolysis of (−)-cocaine. The H2 and CH4 chemical ionization mass spectra of methyl 3-butenoate has been reported.

Application

Methyl 3-butenoate may be employed for the synthesis of dipeptide olefin isosteres using intermolecular olefin cross-metathesis.

Ultraviolet photolysis of stoichiometric amounts of methyl oleate and Fe(CO)(5) in hexanes solvent at 0 degrees C gives Fe(CO)(3)(eta(4)-alpha,beta-ester) in which the alpha,beta-unsaturated ester isomer of methyl oleate is stabilized by eta(4)-oxadiene pi coordination of the olefin and ester carbonyl

An approach to the synthesis of dipeptide olefin isosteres using intermolecular olefin cross-metathesis is presented. In particular, a synthesis of the Pro-Gly isostere (1) is reported. Conversion of N-BOC-proline into the corresponding vinyl-substituted carbamate provides the N-terminal cross-metathesis partner (2).
