Ruthenium-catalysed cross metathesis binding of functionalized olefins to polystyrene resin via a novel allylsilyl linker suitable for electrophilic cleavage

Abstract
1% Divinylbenzene-crosslinked allyldimethylsilyl polystyrene 1 undergoes highly efficient ruthenium-catalysed cross-metathesis with functionalized terminal olefins and allows electrophilic cleavage of the resulting functionalized allylsilane.
