A variety of heteroatom-chelated Ru alkylidenes were developed as metathesis-active catalysts. Alkene-chelated Ru alkylidenes, however, were not considered as a viable alternative because alkene coordination is a necessary step in the catalytic cycle. Relying on common design principles with varying steric and electronic factors, structurally diverse alkene-chelated Ru alkylidene complexes were prepared by trapping the intermediates of enyne ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of 1,n-enynes and diynes with a stoichiometric amount of an initiator Ru complex. One of the crucial structural elements that promotes the formation of 1,5-alkene-chelates is the exo-Thorpe-Ingold effect, exerted by a gem-dialkyl moiety. These alkene-chelated complexes show a trans relation between the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand and the chelated alkene. However, η3-vinyl alkylidene complexes were generated from the RCM of ynamide-tethered 1,n-enynes. The presence of an ynamide moiety with a right connectivity is essential for the formation of these rare η3-vinyl alkylidene complexes with a cis relation between the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand and the chelated alkene. The stability and reactivity of these alkene-chelated Ru alkylidenes could be finely tuned to show characteristic behaviors in RCM, cross-metathesis (CM), and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reactions. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as Benzylidenebis(tricyclohexylphosphine)dichlororuthenium(cas: 172222-30-9Name: Benzylidenebis(tricyclohexylphosphine)dichlororuthenium)
Benzylidenebis(tricyclohexylphosphine)dichlororuthenium(cas: 172222-30-9) is a ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalyst. It is useful for olefin cross metathesis (CM) and ring closing metathesis (RCM) of terminal olefins under a variety of reactions conditions, and so on.Name: Benzylidenebis(tricyclohexylphosphine)dichlororuthenium
