Ethylene-Triggered Formation of Ruthenium Alkylidene from Decomposed Catalyst
Smit, Wietse; Foscato, Marco; Occhipinti, Giovanni; Jensen, Vidar Remi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Ethylene is known to readily decompose ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts, such as Grubbs second-generation catalyst (GII), by forming the unsubstituted ruthenacyclobutane (Ru-2) that may undergo a 1,2-H shift and ... -
Loss and Reformation of Ruthenium Alkylidene: Connecting Olefin Metathesis, Catalyst Deactivation, Regeneration, and Isomerization
Engel, Julien; Smit, Wietse; Foscato, Marco; Occhipinti, Giovanni; Törnroos, Karl Wilhelm; Jensen, Vidar Remi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts are used in laboratory-scale organic synthesis across chemistry, largely thanks to their ease of handling and functional group tolerance. In spite of this robustness, these ... -
