- Highly Active Cross-Metathesis of Tetrafluoroethylene with a Seven-Membered N-Heterocyclic-Carbene-Ruthenium Catalyst
-
A drastic increase in catalyst turnover number (TON) was accomplished in the cross-metathesis of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and vinyl ethers. Under a continuous flow of TFE, catalyst Ru7, which contains a seven-membered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, reached a TON of 4100; this is 2 orders of magnitude higher than the highest hitherto reported value. Mechanistic studies revealed that the expanded NHC successfully destabilizes the stable intermediates with a difluorocarbene structure, which strongly promotes the reaction.

- Low energy light-triggered oxidative cleavage of olefins
-
A series of substituted olefins were tested for their reactivity with singlet oxygen as a singlet oxygen-mediated cleavable linker. Low intensity light of 200 mW/cm2 was irradiated to the solution of an olefin and 5,10,15-triphenyl-20-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-21H,23H-porphyrin under atmospheric condition. Among the tested olefins, 1,2-cis-diphenoxyethylene reacted fast with singlet oxygen, >80% within 15 min yielding a stoichiometric conversion to aldehyde product without any side reactions.
