Cross-metathesis assisted by microwave irradiation

Microwave irradiation effectively accelerates cross-coupling metathesis reactions between deactivated olefins. Reactions have been carried out with the phosphine-free Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst and the "second generation Grubbs' catalyst." While there have been reports that a "microwave effect" is observed in various transformations, the accelerations we observe are due to the efficient and rapid heating and increased pressure in the microwave apparatus.
