63. 2 was slowly added with vigorous stirring. The suspension was then transferred in a NMR tube and quickly introduced to the precooled (-18 °C) NMR probe.
64. The alkylidene ruthenium complex has been isolated (X-ray) from the reaction of a specially selected tricyclobutene with a full equivalent of catalyst: Tallarico, J. L.; Bonitatebus, P. J., Jr.; M. Snapper, M. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 5157
65. Our result assumes the intermediates in the postulated pathways have sufficient lifetimes to be detected on the NMR time scale, although the back reactions may be fast.
66. These results indicate the rate of the initial complexation-metallo- cycloaddition step determines the preferred pathway. This was confirmed by the detection of both competitive species. Consequently, the potential back reactions are not a complication.
