22. To avoid the methylidene intermediates, substituted dienes, such as N-allyleinnamylamine hydrochloride salt, were required. Using these substituted dienes is not an atom economical transformation since it has unnecessary substituents which require additional steps for preparation. Moreover, the yields of the RCM reactions with the substituted dienes using catalysis 1-3 in water were usually not good. See ref 3b.
