Some further applications in organic synthesis

A number of examples have already been given of the application of the RCM of a,o)-dienes to the synthesis of complex molecules. Some further examples are the following. 

Olefin Metathesis and Metathesis Polymerization Table 8.7 Metathesis reactions of carbodisiloxadienes 

For a review of this important, rapidly developing area, see Schmalz (1995) and Grubbs (1995) see also McKervey (1996) for an application to the synthesis of bridged- and oligo-calix[4]arenes.
