44. We refer to 11 as a 'pseudo-dimer' of 8 because one mole of 11 comprises two moles of 8 minus one mole of ethylene.

46. Upon increasing the concentration to 0.1 mol/L the ring-closing metathesis was largely shut down. A range of products stemming from alkene migration and cross-metathesis formed, but the isopropenyl group was unaffected.
