37. 2O (3:1), this was the only solvent mixture in which 3a did not outperform 2.
38. [7]). Since, in the present study we found 3b to be inferior to 3a in metathesis reactions involving protic solvents, the poor conversion observed in aqueous solvent would indicate that the presence of water (and not the potentially chelating allylic hydroxy group) is the main conversion-reducing factor in the CM dimerisation reaction involving 3a.
