Strained rings were effective including cubane (18) and bicyclopentane (20). While 18 and 20 were isolated in lower yield, no evidence of ring opening was observed

• different polymeric backbones [21][22]. It seems to be not easy if both strands are arisen from different strained rings by ROMP. It is known that norbornenes having different substituents would have different reaction rates in ROMP [23]. These discrepancies in reactivity have been used for sequence control

The vast array of gold-mediated transformations reported so far share a common

The gold-catalyzed ring expansion of strained rings is viewed nowadays as a flexible synthetic tool in organic synthesis [7][8][9]. In this review, we aim to summarize the most recent developments in
