An approach to botrydianes: On the steric demands of a metal catalyzed enyne metathesis

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1993-25950

The synthetic scope of a transition metal catalyzed enyne metathesis as a synthesis of 1-alkenylcycloalkenes is tested. Contrary to normal expectations based upon the important sensitivity of transition metal catalyzed reactions to steric effects, severe
