Abstract
Ruthenium alkylidene 1 and molybdenum alkylidene 2 have been utilized in the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of dienes containing gem-disubstituted olefins to yield tri-and tetrasubstituted cyclic olefins. Dienes with sterically demanding and/or electron-withdrawing substituents such as Ph, CO2Me, and t Bu were cyclized successfully with 2, but did not cyclize with 1. Tetrasubstituted cyclic olefins could be formed with 2, but not using ...
