Development of a method for the preparation of ruthenium indenylidene-ether olefin metathesis catalysts

The reactions between several derivatives of 1-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-prop- 2- yn-1-ol and different ruthenium starting materials [i.e., RuCl 2(PPh3)3 and RuCl2(p-cymene)(L), where L is tricyclohexylphosphine di-t-butylmethylphosphine, dicyclohexylphenylphosphine, triisobutylphosphine, triisopropylphosphine, or tri-npropylphosphine] are described. Several of these reactions allow for the easy, in-situ and atom-economic preparation of olefin metathesis catalysts. Organic precursor 1-(3,5- dimethoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-yn-1-ol led to the formation of active ruthenium indenylidene-ether complexes, while 1-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-prop-2-yn-1-ol and 1-(3,5- dimethoxyphenyl)-1-methyl- prop-2-yn-1-ol did not. It was also found that a bulky and strong α-donor phosphine ligand was required to impart good catalytic activity to the new ruthenium complexes.

METHOD FOR IN-SITU FORMATION OF METATHESIS CATALYSTS

Synthetic methods for the in-situ formation of olefin metathesis catalysts are disclosed, as well as the use of such catalysts in metathesis reactions of olefins and olefin compounds. In one aspect, a method is provided for synthesizing an organometallic
