Enamide-olefin ring-closing metathesis.
[reaction: see text] The first examples of ring-closing metathesis reactions of olefin-containing enamides using ruthenium-based catalysts have been demonstrated. A preliminary investigation into the scope and limitations, leading to protected five- and six-membered cyclic enamides, will be presented.
