Fischer‐type ruthenium carbene complexes bearing a selanylcarbene ligand efficiently catalyze ring‐opening/cross‐metathesis (ROCM) of norbornene derivatives with phenyl vinyl selenide to give the ROCM products in high selectivities (see scheme).

Fischer‐Carbenrutheniumkomplexe wie 1 mit einem Selanylcarben‐Liganden katalysieren die Ringöffnung/Kreuzmetathese (ROCM) von Norbornen‐Derivaten mit Phenylvinylselenid. Das ROCM‐Produkt wird dabei mit hoher Selektivität gebildet (siehe Schema).
