64. The position of the ester functionality with respect to the macrocycles 4, 8 or polymers 9, 10 could be either 1,8- or 1,9-, as a result of the head-to-tail or head-to-head metathesis mode.

87. Though NMR spectroseopy has been established as the standard method to investigate the kinetics of ROMP (for example, see: Demel, S.; Schoefberger, W.; Slugovu, C.; Stelzer, F. J. Mol. Catal. A: Chem. 2003, 200, 11-19), it fails to distinguish between oligomer 8 and polymer 9 in this case, which is required for estimating the rate of the backbiting cyclization.

89. If generated via the metallation of 8, complex 4 is almost Ru-free because of column chromatographic workup of 8. If generated via the metathesis of 3, complex 4 contains ca. 0.096% (w/w) residual Ru according to elemental analysis. In the HKR reactions, the results of catalysts prepared via the above two methods are almost identical. In control experiments using the HKR of epichlorohydrin, addition of 1.0 mol % of third generation Grubbs catalyst with respect to the Jacobsen catalyst 1 (X = OAc) exhibited negligible changes in catalytic performance.
90. For a detailed study on the effect of counterions on the HKR, see ref 11.
