20. Consistent with this concentration-dependence is behaviour observed by Hoye and co-workers, who recognized in early, ethylene-free work that the ene-first mechanism (see later) necessitates reaction with incoming enyne to liberate the diene product, and therefore proposed that increased enyne concentrations might be beneficial. Conversions were indeed dramatically improved by slow addition of Ru-1 to enyne, but yields suffered. These reaction conditions promote the formation of oligomers. See: Hoye, T. R.; Donaldson, S.
