Olefin metathesis is a Nobel prize winning carbon-carbon bond forming reaction, and the catalyzed olefin-metathesis reaction has led to many developments in the pharmaceutical, materials, and petroleum industries. Recent advances in ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis have provided a facile route to unsaturated organic products using earth abundant Lewis acid catalysts. However, this strategy has a limited substrate scope, giving rise to the need for new catalyst systems capable of activating less reactive substrates. New and efficient catalytic systems have been developed to obtain products which previously eluded the substrate scope via these established methods.<br/>
