Synthesis of Linear (Z)-α,β-Unsaturated Esters by Catalytic Cross-Metathesis. The Influence of Acetonitrile

Kinetically controlled catalytic cross-metathesis reactions that generate (Z)-α,β-unsaturated esters selectively are disclosed. A key finding is that the presence of acetonitrile obviates the need for using excess amounts of a more valuable terminal alkene substrates. On the basis of X-ray structure...
