Abstract

In situ transformation of a metathesis active Ru-carbene into an isomerization active Ru-hydride catalyst by addition of hydroxide as a chemical trigger enables the conversion of N-Allyl-N-homoallylamines in one step into cyclic enamides via a tandem catalytic ring-closing metathesis-isomerization sequence.
