| Abstract: | The deleterious effect of ethylene gas on the ring‐closing olefin metathesis (RCM) for the formation of 5‐ to 8‐membered rings was investigated. Significant rate differences caused by ethylene gas were observed among the different ring‐size formation reactions. Nevertheless, the rate differences can be advantageously utilized for chemoselective RCM. |
