Question

Draw the structure of the two products of molecular formula${\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{15}}{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{26}}{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ formed when M is treated with Grubbs catalyst under high-dilution conditions.

Short answer

Answer

Products

Step-by-step solution

Grubbs catalyst under high-dilution conditions

The Grubbs catalyst results in the formation of an intramolecular metathesis product.

Intramolecular ring-metathesis

The terminal C=C bonds of the dialkene compounds react with each other, resulting in the formation of the unsaturated rings.

Products of the given reaction

The two products of the given reaction are shown below.
