Question
Draw the product formed from the ring-closing metathesis of each compound. Then, devise a synthesis of each metathesis starting material from benzene, alcohols with four or fewer carbons, and any needed organic or inorganic reagents.
Expert Solution
Step 1
The given compound is diene.
The ring closing metathesis (RCM) by Grubbs catalyst occurs, when the starting material is diene. This reaction is facilitated under high dilution condition as it favors intermolecular metathesis instead of intermolecular metathesis.
