Abstract
The key macrocyclization step in the synthesis of simeprevir, a hepatitis C virus (HCV) antiviral drug, was studied. N-Boc substitution on the diene precursor changes the site of insertion of the metathesis catalyst and, consequently, the kinetic model of the ring closing metathesis (RCM), enabling a further increase in the macrocyclization efficiency under simulated high dilution (SHD) conditions. NMR of the inserted species of both first and second generation RCM catalysts are reported and discussed.

Abstract
A series of tetrasubstituted fluoroalkenes were synthesized in good yield and high E/Z selectivity (up to 96/4) by Wittig reaction between α-heterosubstituted ketones and α-fluorophosphonium ylides. A detailed study of factors that control stereoselectivity in these reactions shows that stereoselectivity is the result of stabilizing CH···F and N···C═O interactions in the addition TS leading to the E isomer. This analysis provides a rationale for the observed decrease in selectivity for reactions of stabilized ylides with α-alkoxy aldehydes.
