The development of a Lewis acid-catalyzed ring-opening cross-metathesis reaction which enables selective access to acyclic, unsaturated ketones as the carbonyl-olefin metathesis products is described. While catalytic amounts of FeCl<sub>3</sub> were previously identified as optimal to catalyze ring-closing metathesis reactions, the complementary ring-opening metathesis between cyclic alkenes and carbonyl functionalities relies on GaCl<sub>3</sub> as the superior Lewis acid catalyst. ...[more]
