A Novel Class of Ruthenium Catalysts for Olefin Metathesis

The different nature of carbene ligands is clearly demonstrated by the first ruthenium‐based complexes 1, which contain both alkylidene and N‐heterocyclic carbene moieties. The latter exhibit a pronounced Lewis base behavior. Moreover, this difference forms the basis of the high catalytic activities...

Description
Summary:The different nature of carbene ligands is clearly demonstrated by the first ruthenium‐based complexes 1, which contain both alkylidene and N‐heterocyclic carbene moieties. The latter exhibit a pronounced Lewis base behavior. Moreover, this difference forms the basis of the high catalytic activities of these compounds in olefin metathesis reactions.
