The application of olefin cross metathesis to terminally unsaturated alpha-
hydroxy- and alpha-ketoferrocenes is reported, Both substrates provided the
terminally functionalized olefins in moderate to good yield. These example
s represent the first cases of cross metathesis of substrates containing an
organometallic functional group.
