Induction of Olefin Metathesis by Phenylacetylene Plus Tungsten Hexachloride.

Abstract

Phenylacetylene induces tungsten hexachloride to initiate metathesis of cis-2-pentene, cyclopentene, cycloheptene, and cyclooctene. In too large amounts, however, it is ineffective. The reactions are run in the atmosphere. The stereo-selectivities for cis-olefins are moderate. (Author)
