The catalytic activity of four aminocarbonyl group containing boomerang-type ring-closing metathesis catalysts have been studied for ten-membered lactone and compared well with the Grubbs I and II as well as the Hoveyda-Grubbs catalysts. The activity was found to be superior to the above three ring-closing metathesis catalysts and suggesting novel stereoselective total syntheses of herbarumin I and stagonolide A.
