14. 5 indicates that RCM of this class of dienes with Ru-based carbenes leads to the formation of a mixture of E and Z isomers. Such observations suggest that, in contrast to the initial suppositions (ref. [4c]), the high Z-selectivity obtained in the reaction illustrated in Scheme 1 is largely imposed by the Mobased alkylidene (vs the conformational preferences of the substrate). See: E. Llàcer, F. Urpì J. Vilarrasa, Org. Lett. 2009, 11, 3198-3201.

20. Formation of macrocyclic 11 is a rare example of an endoselective processes catalyzed by Ru-based complex; Ru-based carbenes, unlike Mo alkylidenes, typically deliver the corresponding exo-dienes. For endo- and enantioselective Mo-catalyzed enyne RCM reactions, see:

62. Formation of an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center through enantioselective olefin metathesis is relatively rare. For the first example of such a transformation, see: A.-L. Lee, S. J. Malcolmson, A. Puglisi, R. R. Schrock, A. H. Hoveyda, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 5153-5157.

68. s lead to formation of substantial amounts of oligomerization; the desired ROCM products are isolated in only 12-30% yield (A. R. Zhugralin, M. Yu, A. H. Hoveyda, unpublished results). The mechanistic details for the difference in efficiencies of these two classes of Ru-based carbenes in promoting ROCM reactions will be disclosed shortly in a separate account.
69. s originally designed for Ru-catalyzed olefin metathesis have been used to promote other classes of transformations. See: (Cu-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate additions) a)K-s. Lee, M. K. Brown, A. H. Hoveyda, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 7182-7184;
