Ruthenium arene Catalyst in Diene and Enyne RCM

4 lndenylidene-Ruthenium(arene) Catalyst in Diene and Enyne RCM 

The isolated catalyst XV was evaluated in the RCM reaction of dienes and enynes at room temperature. The RCM of dienes easily takes place, even for disubstituted alkene bonds (Table 8.4). For enynes, the formation of vinylcycloalkenes takes place more slowly but in high yield [34].
