The compounds are obtained by intramolecular ring closing metathesis of the corresponding dienes.

A synthetically useful catalytic conversion is ethenolysis, a cross metathesis reaction with ethylene.

Versatile syntheses of substituted diazaspirocycles through ring-closing metathesis were demonstrated.

In the synthetic route, ring-closing metathesis was utilized for the construction of a butenolide moiety.

Representing a new category of polymer-drug conjugates, brush polymer-drug conjugates were prepared by ring-opening metathesis copolymerization.
