title: Two-directional cross-metathesis.
abstract: Two-directional cross-metathesis of a range of alpha,omega dienes with a variety of electron deficient alkenes has been accomplished. It was found that the process is quite general and gives complete selectivity for the E,E-dienes, making this a very useful and high yielding protocol for two-directional chain elongation.
