Two-directional ring-opening cross-metathesis.
Two-directional ring-opening cross-metathesis of a range of cyclic alkenes 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 synthesis.
