✦ Synopsis
Homoallyl-substituted vinyl cyclopropanes 1a-c, which are readily prepared by reaction of allylindium reagents with α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes, undergo Ru-catalysed RCM reactions with Grubbs catalyst to give [4.1.0]bicyclooct-2-ene (norcarene) type bicyclic products. Noncyclisable 'trans' homoallyl-substituted vinyl cyclopropanes 1b and 1c are separated from their 'cis' diastereomers by RCM to 5b and 5c -but only with moderate efficiency due to a competing homo-cross metathesis ('dimerisation') to give 7b and 7c, respectively. However, the four diastereomers of the (homoallyl)distyrylcyclopropane 14a obtained from indium-
