Catalytic asymmetric ring-opening metathesis/cross metathesis (AROM/CM) reactions. Mechanism and application to enantioselective synthesis of functionalized cyclopentanes
Studies regarding the first examples of catalytic asymmetric ring-opening metathesis (AROM) reactions are detailed. This enantioselective cleavage of norbornyl alkenes is followed by an intermolecular cross metathesis with a terminal olefin partner; judic
