title: Thermodynamically controlled cyclisation reactions with double phenylsulfanyl migration.
abstract: Enantiomerically enriched C2-symmetric tetrols were synthesised by a route involving a 'self-metathesis' reaction with Grubbs' second-generation ruthenium catalyst; these tetrols produced interesting bicyclic products when rearranged under acidic conditions.
