45. Note that generation of 10% 7b requires conversion of 20% 1b.
46. Obviously, a degenerate cross-metathesis of trans-3b with trans-1b can also occur with similar propensity.
47. The analysis of the ratio of cis and trans isomers of 7bc was aided by the observation that the chemical shifts of the C(2')-H styryl protons were very slightly upfield of their 'monomeric' precursors.
