title: Cross-metathesis reactions of vinyl-chlorins and -porphyrins catalyzed by a "second generation" Grubbs' catalyst.
abstract: The first application of olefin cross-metathesis with vinylchlorins and vinylporphyrins using a "second generation" Grubbs' catalyst is reported. Cross-metathesis products were obtained in good yields with high E-stereoselectivity.
