ORGANOCATALYTIC CARBONYL-OLEFIN AND OLEFIN-OLEFIN METATHESIS
-
Paragraph 099; 0169, (2014/02/16)
The present invention provides, inter alia, organocatalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis process. This process involves contacting a carbonyl-containing moiety with an olefin-containing moiety in the presence of a catalyst and under conditions sufficient to form a metathesis product with the proviso that the process takes place in the absence of photochemical promotion, stoichiometric amounts of transition metals, and Brnsted and Lewis acid catalysts. The present invention also provides an organocatalytic olefin-olefin metathesis process. This process involves contacting a first olefin-containing moiety with a second olefin-containing moiety in the presence of a catalyst and under conditions sufficient to form a metathesis product with the proviso that the process takes place in the absence of stoichiometric amounts of transition metals. Products made by the processes disclosed herein are also provided.
