Title: Ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts bearing new N-heterocyclic carbenes
Abstract: Olefin metathesis catalysts based on the L2X2Ru=CHR scaffold have contributed
significantly to the expanding spectrum of olefin metathesis applications. Recent
work has shown that catalysts bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand
exhibit enhancecl metathesis activity over previous ruthenium-based catalysts.
The synthesis and activity of olefin metathesis catalysts containing new NHC
ligands will be presented.
