Organic Chemistry, Chapter 24, Problem 24.33P , additional homework tip  1

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 Ru‑nucleophilic carbene complex.
