The catalytic performance of Ru–NHC alkylidene complexes: PCy3 versus pyridine as the dissociating ligand
نویسندگان
چکیده
The catalytic performance of NHC-ligated Ru-indenylidene or benzylidene complexes bearing a tricyclohexylphosphine or a pyridine ligand in ring closing metathesis (RCM), cross metathesis, and ring closing enyne metathesis (RCEYM) reactions is compared. While the PCy₃ complexes perform significantly better in RCM and RCEYM reactions than the pyridine complex, all catalysts show similar activity in cross metathesis reactions.

Stability of Second Generation Grubbs Alkylidenes to Primary Amines: Formation of Novel Ruthenium-Amine Complexes
The stability of second generation Grubbs alkylidenes to primary amines relative to the first generation derivatives is investigated. For both Grubbs alkylidene derivatives, the tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3) ligand is displaced by n-butylACHTUNGTRENNUNGamine and diethylenetriamine. However, while displacement of PCy3 in first generation Grubbs alkylidene derivatives results in decomposition of ...

A series of cyclic Ru-alkylidene catalysts have been prepared and evaluated for their efficiency in ring-expansion metathesis polymerization (REMP). The catalyst structures feature chelating tethers extending from one N-atom of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand to the Ru metal center. The catalyst design is modular in nature, which provided access to Ru complexes having varying tether leng...
