Iron(III)-Catalyzed Ring-Closing Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis.

Published in: Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English) (2016)

Recent developments in catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis are summarized in this Highlight. Schindler and co-workers have reported that the environmentally benign FeCl3 catalyst promotes ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis (RCCOM) in high yield under very mild conditions.
