Synthesis of styrenes using ruthenium-catalyzed ring-closing enyne metathesis.
The synthesis of substituted styrenes was achieved by ring-closing enyne metathesis (RCEM)/elimination of enyne substrates 12. The synthetic approach was also effective for a different type of enyne substrate 14, yielding corresponding styrene 15.
