Chapter 24, Problem 24.33P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of given alkene metathesis reaction using a $\text{Ru}$‑nucleophilic carbene catalyst has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Alkene metathesis:

An organometallic catalyzed reaction in which two alkenes exchange carbon atoms of their double bonds are said to be Alkene metathesis reaction.  Two alkenes are in same molecule and the product is a cycloalkene and ring closing occurs.  The catalyst used is $\text{Ru}$‑nucleophilic carbene complex.
