34. 1H NMR resonances for the minor isomer in each case indicated that it was a symmetrical structure, thereby ruling out the possibility of regioisomeric alkenes.

These previous examples of formation of cyclic alkenes having one fewer carbon than expected were proposed to have been preceded by alkene isomerizalion. Our experimental evidence now directly supports that suggestion. Also, the earlier examples were obtained using a Schrock molybdenum carbene; the observations described here are to our knowledge the first example where a ruthenium carbene has induced this event.
