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 ... -
Phosphine- and Indenylidene-Based Z-Selective Ruthenium Olefin Metathesis Catalysts and Catalyst Stability: Decomposition, Olefin Isomerization and Regeneration
Smit, Wietse (Doctoral thesis, 2019-11-22)This thesis describes the development and synthesis of phosphine-bearing first-generation Z-selective olefin metathesis catalysts that give 70–95% of the Z-isomer product in homocoupling of terminal alkenes such as ... -
Phosphine-Based Z‑Selective Ruthenium Olefin Metathesis Catalysts
Smit, Wietse; Koudriavtsev, Vitali; Occhipinti, Giovanni; Törnroos, Karl Wilhelm; Jensen, Vidar Remi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05-18)Whereas a number of highly Z-selective ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts bearing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands have been reported in recent years, Zselectivity has so far been difficult to achieve for phosphinebased ... -
Z-Selective Monothiolate Ruthenium Indenylidene Olefin Metathesis Catalysts
Smit, Wietse; Ekeli, Jonas Brattebø; Occhipinti, Giovanni; Wozniak, Bartosz; Törnroos, Karl Wilhelm; Jensen, Vidar Remi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Ru-alkylidenes bearing sterically demanding arylthiolate ligands (SAr) constitute one of only two classes of catalyst that are Z-selective in metathesis of 1-alkenes. Of particular interest are complexes bearing pyridine ...
