23. Initial intermolecular enyne metathesis, involving equilibration to a double-bond geometry that permits formation of a potentially thermodynamically more stable product containing a six-membered cyclic boronic ester, has not been ruled out. However, the failure to generate more than trace amounts of the desired cyclic dialkenylboronic ester when the pinacol alkynylboronic ester was used in place of the diisopropyl boronic ester in a solution phase enyne metathesis reaction suggests that this pathway is less significant.

45. A high degree of site separation exists in regular 1% DVB cross-linked polystyrene resins but, due to the dynamic nature of the matrix, at least some amount of transient site interaction always occurs, see ref. [11a]. For an early account of site-site interactions, sec: H. Rapoport, J. I. Crowley. Acc. Chem. Res. 1976, 9, 135.

54. Various copper salts have also been shown to aid metathesis reactions, (see: M. Rivard, S. Blechert, Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2003, 2225) but these offered no significant improvements in this case.

65. Although substrate concentrations vary between solid and solutionphase reactions, these results show that substrate concentration is not believed to be a contributory factor in the crossover phenomenon. Additionally, running solution-phase experiments under more concentrated conditions (0.5-1 M relative to homoallylic alcohol) did not effect the trend, with catalyst 3 being superior in these cases.
