Abstract
This paper describes the ring-closing metathesis of silyl ether connec ted dienes using molybdenum and ruthenium alkylidene catalysts. The cy clizations proceed to afford the corresponding cyclic silyloxy olefins in good to excellent yields. Subsequent oxidative ring cleavage yield s highly functionalized olefins.
