In addition, cross metathesis of the known cis-isomer and octene led to the anticipated cis-product 9a. When similar tests were made with the trans isomer, no cross metathesis products were observed. However, subjecting the major cyclopropanation diastereomer (trans) to epimerization conditions facilitated partial conversion to the anticipated minor compound (cis).{A figure is presented}.
