چکیده
The aims of this contribution are to present a straightforward synthesis of 2(nd) generation Hoveyda-type olefin metathesis catalysts bearing bromo and iodo ligands, and to disclose the subtle influence of the different anionic co-ligands on the catalytic performance of the complexes in ring opening metathesis polymerisation, ring closing metathesis, enyne cycloisomerisation and cross metathesis reactions.

New library of aminosulfonyl-tagged Hoveyda–Grubbs type complexes: Synthesis, kinetic studies and activity in olefin metathesis transformations
Seven novel Hoveyda-Grubbs precatalysts bearing an aminosulfonyl function are reported. Kinetic studies indicate an activity enhancement compared to Hoveyda's precatalyst. A selection of these catalysts was investigated with various substrates in ring-closing metathesis of dienes or enynes and cross metathesis. The results demonstrate that these catalysts show a good tolerance to various chemic...
متن کاملRu complexes of Hoveyda–Grubbs type immobilized on lamellar zeolites: activity in olefin metathesis reactions
Hoveyda-Grubbs type catalysts with cationic tags on NHC ligands were linker-free immobilized on the surface of lamellar zeolitic supports (MCM-22, MCM-56, MCM-36) and on mesoporous molecular sieves SBA-15. The activity of prepared hybrid catalysts was tested in olefin metathesis reactions: the activity in ring-closing metathesis of citronellene and N,N-diallyltrifluoroacetamide decreased in the...

The ground-breaking advances in catalytic olefin metathesis by Grubbs and others have revolutionized many aspects of organic synthesis, ensuring a high general level of interest in the key metal alkylidene catalysts. The mechanism of ruthenium-mediated olefin metathesis catalysed by first (1a) and second generation (1b) Grubbs complexes has been extensively studied both by experiment and by com...
متن کاملOlefin metathesis in homogeneous aqueous media catalyzed by conventional ruthenium catalysts.
Olefin metathesis in aqueous solvents is sought for applications in green chemistry and with the hydrophilic substrates of chemical biology, such as proteins and polysaccharides. Most demonstrations of metathesis in water, however, utilize exotic complexes. We have examined the performance of conventional catalysts in homogeneous water/organic mixtures, finding that the second-generation Hoveyd...
متن کاملWhat is the initiation step of the Grubbs-Hoveyda olefin metathesis catalyst?
Density function theory calculations reveal that the Grubbs-Hoveyda olefin metathesis pre-catalyst is activated by the formation of a complex in which the incoming alkene substrate and outgoing alkoxy ligand are both clearly associated with the ruthenium centre. The computed energies for reaction are in good agreement with the experimental values, reported here.
