The choice of functional groups is limited by competitive chelation of some heterocycles with the catalyst, and other stereoelectronic effects.Keywords: alkene; allyl compound; naphthalimide derivative; article; catalyst; chelation; chemical reaction; combinatorial chemistry; metathesis reaction; stereochemistry Allyl sulfides; Aqueous metathesis; Dynamic combinatorial chemistry; Reversible metathesis201010.1016/j.tetlet.2010.07.1052016-02-24
