Technical Notes:
1.General metathesis of many ordinary olefins, especially terminal olefins, and will R MP many norbornene or substituted norbornadiene monomers to give all cis, and often isotactic, polymers.
2.Useful for the "ring-closing" of dienes or the coupling of te rminal olefins .
3.Highly active and most commonly used in cross metathesis of aliphatic alkenes with 2-vinyl aromatics .
