Abstract
A comparative study of chiral Mo- and Ru-based catalysts to promote enantioselective synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted pyrans and piperidines through asymmetric ring-opening/cross-metathesis reactions demonstrated the critical complementarity that exists between the two classes of chiral catalysts.
