38. All new compounds were identified using routine spectroscopy and gave satisfactory data.
39. In an attempt to improve the yields of indenols 6d and 6e we protected the alcohol functionalities of 5d and 5e with acetyl groups. However, much to our surprise, the RCM reactions of these substrates, at r.t. or at 110 °C, did not proceed to afford the acetyl-protected cyclic products and only starting material was recovered.

42. Storage of the indenols (as oils) without the exclusion of air resulted in a slow conversion into indenones (ca. 5% over six months).
