AuCl₃‐Catalyzed Ring‐Closing Carbonyl–Olefin Metathesis

Compared with the ripeness of olefin metathesis, exploration of the construction of carbon-carbon double bonds through the catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction remains stagnant and has received scant attention. Herein, a highly efficient AuCl3 -catalyzed intramolecular ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction is described. This method features easily accessible starting materials, simple operation, good functional-group...
