3 Types of Tandem Reactions Tandem reactions are reactions in which multiple bonds are formed in one synthetic operation. Sequential tandem reactions involve coupling transformations that operate independently and often require changes in reaction conditions or the addition of new reagents. Concurrent tandem reactions use a catalyst for multiple cooperative transformations without adding additional reagents or catalysts and the subsequent reactions occur as a consequence of the functionality produced in the previous step. Finnegan, D.; Seigal, B.; Snapper, M. Org. Lett. 2006, 8, Wasilke, J;Obrey, S; Baker, T; Bazan, G. Chem Rev. 2005, 105, 1001.

10 Ring Rearrangement Metathesis Mechanism Ring Rearrangement Metathesis (RRM) - The tandem coupling of ring opening metathesis (ROM) and ring closing metathesis (RCM). Strained cyclic olefins undergo RRM with relief of ring strain as the thermodynamic driving of the reaction Unstrained cyclic olefins undergo RRM with the entropy gain in the formation of the volatile olefin, usually ethylene, as the thermodynamic driving force

61 Ring Rearrangement Metathesis Mechanism Ring Rearrangement Metathesis (RRM) - The tandem coupling of ring opening metathesis (ROM) and ring closing metathesis (RCM). Strained cyclic olefins undergo RRM with relief of ring strain as the thermodynamic driving of the reaction Unstrained cyclic olefins bearing two olefin substituents can undergo RRM involving a double RCM. The driving force for this reaction is the entropy gain in the formation of the volatile olefin, usually ethylene.
