title: Synthesis of heterocyclic and carbocyclic fluoro-olefins by ring-closing metathesis.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of vinyl fluoride-containing dienes in the presence of ruthenium alkylidene carbene complex 11 proceeded efficiently to give six- and seven-membered cyclic vinyl fluorides. The RCM reaction was used to prepare amine- and sulfamide-linked cyclo-olefins, as well as carbocyclic systems, from a simple commercial fluoro-olefin.
