Chapter 26, Problem 26.31P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The all metathesis products formed from the given alkene substrates are to be drawn, and an explanation that corresponds to the synthetic use of alkene metathesis reaction with two different alkenes is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Alkene metathesis generally known as olefin metathesis occurs in the presence of Grubbs catalyst. The overall reaction involves cleavage of two $\text{σ}$ and two $\text{π}$ bonds, and formation of two $\text{σ}$ and two $\text{π}$ bonds.
