44 - 228Ring Closing Metathesis of Sterically Hindered 1,6-Dienes: A NewApproach to 5-Membered Branched Cyclitols. — The stericallyhindered carbohydrate derived 1,6-diene (III) undergoes efficient ring-closingmetathesis using Schrock’s catalyst. The product can be readily converted tothe 5-membered branched cyclitols (VIII) and (IX). — (SELLIER, ODILE;VAN DE WEGHE, PIERRE; EUSTACHE, JACQUES; Tetrahedron Lett. 40(1999) 32, 5859-5860; Lab.
