36. The possibility of an ADMET polymerization of di(allyl) carbonate 4 will be studied in our laboratory in due course. We gratefully acknowledge a referee for this helpful suggestion.
37. Interestingly, the carbonate 4 was inert in ADMET polymerization catalyzed by the highly active molybdenum catalyst VI, cf. ref.[2].

44. A similar observation has been made for a macrocyclic RCM of a 14-membered lactone. When the reaction was performed at room temperature, intermolecular dimerization competed with ring closure even under high dilution condition. As anticipated, dimerization was suppressed at elevated temperatures, cf.: C. W. Lee, R. H. Grubbs, Org. Lett. 2000, 2, 2145-2147.
