Abstract

A stereoselective entry into (E)-cycloalkenes is described, comprising the ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) of suitable diynes, a ruthenium-catalyzed trans-selective hydrosilylation of the cycloalkynes thus formed, followed by a desilylation of the resulting vinylsilanes mediated by AgF.
