title: Selective ring opening cross metathesis of cyclooctadiene and trisubstituted cycloolefins.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The selective ring opening cross metathesis of 1,5-cyclooctadiene and trisubstituted cycloolefins with acroyl species is described. The ring-opened products contain electronically differentiated olefins suitable for additional metathesis reactions. Trisubstituted cycloolefins open regioselectively, placing the acroyl cap on the less-substituted terminus.
