Abstract

The development of new olefin metathesis catalysts has allowed for the introduction of unique synthetic transformations. In this regard, ring-opening metathesis (ROM) offers a novel means of constructing diene-containing systems. The factors behind the chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivities of ROM are examined. The mechanistic models suggested are supported by stoichiometric studies of the unique ruthenium alkylidenes formed during the ROM of various cyclobutene-containing substrates.
