A large-scale synthesis of known Ru olefin metathesis catalyst VII featuring an unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand with one 2,5-diisopropylphenyl (DIPP) and one thiophenylmethylene N-substituent is reported. The optimised procedure does not require column chromatography in any step and allows for preparation of up to 0.5 kg batches of the catalyst from simple precursors. The application profile of the obtained catalyst was studied in environmentally friendly dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Although VII exhibited low efficiency in cross-metathesis (CM) with electron-deficient partners, good to excellent results were noted for substrates featuring easy to isomerise C?C double bonds. This includes polyfunctional substrates of medicinal chemistry interest, such as analogues of psychoactive 5F-PB-22 and NM-2201 and two PDE5 inhibitors—Sildenafil and Vardenafil. Finally, a larger scale ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of a Vardenafil derivative was conducted in DMC, allowing for straightforward isolation of the expected product (23 g) in high yield and with low Ru contamination level (7.7 ppm).

The addition of vinyl ethers to Z-selective, cyclometalated ruthenium metathesis catalysts generates Fischer carbene complexes. Although Fischer carbenes are usually thought to be metathesis inactive, we show that Fischer carbenes are metathesis active under certain circumstances. These species were found to decompose facilely to Ru hydride complexes, as identified by both experiment and computation. Since vinyl ethers are often used to quench metathesis reactions implementing Ru-based metathesis catalysts, their decomposition to hydrides can have a deleterious effect on the desired stereochemistry of the olefin product.
