33. Chiral ruthenium metathesis catalysts have been reported with only one ortho substituent on each N-bound aryl ring. These catalysts are significantly less efficient for the preparation of tetrasubstituted olefins by RCM than the catalysts reported in this communication. See ref 7.
34. The optimum temperature for RCM reactions using catalyst 4 is 60°C; see ref 7.
