Abstract:
Method of forming a trisubstituted ethylene compound, the method comprising: (A) providing a trisubstituted ethylene compound bearing a first, a second and a third substituent, in which the first and the second substituent are bound to the one olefinic carbon atom and are different from one another; (B) providing a monosubstituted ethylene compound or a disubstituted ethylene compound in which the substituents are vicinally bound to the olefinic carbon atoms, bearing at least a fourth substituent, respectively; (C) subjecting the trisubstituted ethylene compound provided in step (A) to a cross-metathesis reaction with olefin provided in step (B) to form said trisubstituted ethylene, wherein the cross-metathesis reaction is catalysed by a transition metal complex bearing ligands from which one ligand is a carbene ligand, wherein the carbene complex is characterized by a M=C moiety, wherein M is the transition metal; and wherein the reaction proceeds stereoselectively.
Abstract:
The present application provides, among other things, compounds and methods for metathesis reactions. In some embodiments, provided compounds promote highly efficient and highly Z-selective metathesis. In some embodiments, provided compounds and methods are particularly useful for producing allyl alcohols. In some embodiments, provided compounds have the structure of formula I. In some embodiments, provided compounds comprise ruthenium, and a ligand bonded to ruthenium through a sulfur atom.
