Abstract
The ability of substituted phenoxy complexes of tungsten to effect metathesis of both functionalized and non-functionalized terminal alkenes has been investigated. This methodology has been applied to the synthesis of the insect pheromones tetradec-9-en-1-yl acetate, dodec-7- en-1-yl acetate and tricos-9-ene.Keywords
