A strategy employing the second generation Grubbs catalyst in order to facilitate the generation of a variety of cyclic enol phosphates, including 2H-chromen-4-yl, 1, 2- dihydroquinolin-4-yl, 2H-thiochromen-4-yl, 2H-thiochromen-4-yl 1, 1-dioxide, and benzofuran-2-yl enol phosphate scaffolds is described. This work represents the first case of an olefin metathesis reaction in which one of the groups participating in the metathesis ...
