STEREO- AND REGIOSELECTIVITY OF THE CATALYTIC SYSTEM MoCl5/SiO2-SnMe4 IN THE REACTION OF METATHESIS AND COMETATHESIS OF OLEFINS AND THEIR FUNCTIONAL DERIVATIVES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00963021

It was shown that the catalytic system MoCl5/SiO2-SnMe4 has almost 100percent regioselectivity with respect to olefins.The stereoselectivity of the system is not a function of the length of the α-olefin chain, temperature, or addition of functional groups (COOEt, Cl).Addition of pentachlorophenoxy and 8-hydroxyquinolyl ligands significantly reduces the activity of the catalytic system with a slight increase in the stereoselectivity with respect to the cis-isomer.
