The synthesis of several α‐substituted N ‐Boc‐protected prolines has been achieved by cross metathesis (CM) of N ‐Boc‐allylproline 5 with terminal long chain alkenes and alkenes bearing hydroxy, silyloxy, ester, and O ‐acetylglucosamido groups. The CM occurred with good selectivity and short reaction time under microwave heating conditions, affording yields in the range of 40–92 %. Addition of Ti(O i Pr) 4 as a Lewis acid allowed a slight increase of the yield in the case of alkenes with Lewis basic substituents. The CM was also successfully applied to allylproline protected with trichloroacetaldehyde 4 , but the intermediate products were less practical for further deprotection and elaboration.
