title: Allyl sulphides in olefin metathesis: catalyst considerations and traceless promotion of ring-closing metathesis.
abstract: Allyl sulphides are reactive substrates in ruthenium-catalysed olefin metathesis reactions, provided each substrate is matched with a suitable catalyst. A profile of catalyst activity is described, along with the first demonstration of allyl sulphides as traceless promoters in relayed ring-closing metathesis reactions.
