Z-selective homodimerization of terminal olefins with a ruthenium metathesis catalyst.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cross-metathesis of terminal olefins using a novel ruthenium catalyst results in excellent selectivity for the Z-olefin homodimer. The reaction was found to tolerate a large number of functional groups, solvents, and temperatures while maintaining excellent Z-selectivity, even at high reaction conversions.

Olefin metathesis reactions with 3E-1,3-dienes using Z-selective cyclometalated ruthenium benzylidene catalysts are described. In particular, a procedure for employing 3E-1,3-dienes in Z-selective homodimerization and cross-metathesis with terminal alkenes is detailed. The reaction takes advantage of the pronounced chemoselectivity of a recently reported ruthenium-based catalyst containing a cy...
متن کاملAlkene chemoselectivity in ruthenium-catalyzed Z-selective olefin metathesis.
Chelated ruthenium catalysts have achieved highly chemoselective olefin metathesis reactions. Terminal and internal Z olefins were selectively reacted in the presence of internal E olefins. Products were produced in good yield and high stereoselectivity for formation of a new Z olefin. No products of metathesis with the internal E olefin were observed. Chemoselectivity for terminal olefins was ...
متن کاملTandem Z - selective cross metathesis – dihydroxylation for the synthesis of anti - 1 , 2 - diols
A stereoselective synthesis of anti-1,2-diols has been developed using a multitasking Ru-catalyst in an assisted tandem catalysis protocol. A cyclometalated ruthenium complex catalyzes first a Zselective cross metathesis of two terminal olefins followed by a stereospecific dihydroxylation. Both steps are catalyzed by Ru, as the Ru-complex is converted to a dihydroxylation catalyst upon addition...

The Z-selective ethenolysis activity of chelated ruthenium metathesis catalysts was investigated with experiment and theory. A five-membered chelated catalyst that was successfully employed in Z-selective cross metathesis reactions has now been found to be highly active for Z-selective ethenolysis at low ethylene pressures, while tolerating a wide variety of functional groups. This phenomenon a...
