One of the classical experiments in the development of olefin metathesis was the “double cross” metathesis in which a mixture of cyclooctene, 2-butene, and 4-octene underwent metathesis.

a. What products would be expected from this metathesis?

b. How would the formation of these products differ in the pairwise and non-pairwise mechanisms? (See T. J. Katz, J. McGinness, J. Am. Chem. Soc. , 1975 , 97 , 1592.)
