Cross-metathesis of olefins directly substituted with an electron-withdrawing group using transition metal carbene catalysts.
Cross-metathesis of olefins directly substituted with an electron-withdrawing group using transition metal carbene catalysts.. California Institute of Technology; 2003.
Abstract
The Group 8 transition metal alkylidene complexes are used as catalysts for olefin cross-metathesis reactions. In particular, Ru and Os alkylidene complexes substituted with an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and ≥1 electron donor ligand as a heterocyclic group are used to catalyze cross-metathesis reactions to provide olefin products that are directly substituted with an electron-withdrawing group.
