How can uncooperative alkenes be rendered more susceptible to metathesis reactions? The realization that what is difficult in an intermolecular sense can become straightforward when transposed to a kinetically favorable intramolecular reaction has led to development of relay ring‐closing metathesis (see scheme). This provides a method for directing initiation and propagation of previously unattainable metathesis sequences.
