Robust, selective, and stable in the presence of ethylene, ruthenium olefin metathesis pre-catalyst, {[3-benzyl-1-(10-phenyl-9-phenanthryl)]-2-imidazolidinylidene}dichloro(o-isopropoxyphenylmethylene)ruthenium(II), Ru-3, bearing an unsymetrical N-heterocyclic carbene (uNHC) ligand, has been synthesized. The initiation rate of Ru-3 was examined by ring-closing metathesis and cross-metathesis reactions with a broad spectrum of olefins, showing an unprecendented selectivity. It was also tested in industrially relevant ethenolysis reactions of olefinic substrates from renewable feedstock with very good yields and selectivities.

An optimized synthesis of a key intermediate Ru4 in substantially improved yield of 50% and in scale up to 1 gram was described. Such obtained Ru4 was quantitatively converted into useful quaternary ammonium tagged catalyst Ru1 (FixCat) and immobilized in a metal-organic framework (MOF). Next, two challenging applications, not studied previously with hybrid Ru1@MOF catalyst were attempted. In the case of the RCM reaction yielding a macrocyclic musk lactone, heterogeneous Ru1@MOF exhibited under high-dilution conditions high resistance towards unwanted C-C double bond migration, thus offering superior selectivity as compared to analogous homogeneous catalysts. In ethenolysis of ethyl oleate, Ru1@MOF exhibited only slightly better selectivity as compared to well-known general-purpose Hoveyda-Grubbs SIMes and SIPr catalysts, while it was not able to challenge the benchmark Bertrand-Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst in this transformation.

Second-generation ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts were investigated with systematic variation of the unsymmetrical uNHC ligands. Depending on the uNHC steric bulk, the catalysts exhibited different activity and selectivity in metathesis reactions. DFT calculations and X-ray crystallographic data were used to understand the influence of uNHC ligand structure on the catalyst properties. Furthermore, the catalysts were examined in the context of reactions that are problematic for general-purpose Ru catalysts, including industrially important self-cross metathesis of α-olefins and ethenolysis of ethyl oleate.

Mechanochemical synthesis of nine contemporary ruthenium catalysts used for olefin metathesis is described, being the first reported example of formation of Ru carbene organometallic complexes in solid state. Three key organometallic transformations commonly used in the synthesis of the second and third generations of Ru catalysts in solution—phosphine ligand (PCy3) exchange with in situ formed N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, PCy3 to pyridine ligand replacement, and benzylidene ligands interchange—were proved to work under mechanochemical conditions, affording the targets in high purity. Mechanochemical approach not only requires less amounts of organic solvent (null for synthesis, only for purification) and is scalable, but also allows for transformations that were reported impossible in the solution phase.

Four novel stable Hoveyda-Grubbs-type catalysts containing N,N′-dineopentyl- and N,N′-dicyclohexyl-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands with syn and anti phenyl groups on the ring backbone were synthesized and fully characterized. The catalytic potential of these complexes was investigated in metathesis reactions of both standard and renewable substrates. Compared to the Hoveyda-Grubbs second generation catalyst (HGII), all of the new catalysts showed high performances in most of the examined metathesis transformations. In particular, N,N′-dicyclohexyl catalysts gave improved results in the challenging ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction to form tetrasubstituted olefins, while catalysts with neopentyl N-groups were found to be more active and Z-selective in cross-metathesis (CM) reactions. Modest enantioselectivities in the asymmetric ring-closing metathesis (ARCM) of achiral trienes with different steric hindrance were observed in the presence of catalysts bearing chiral C2-symmetric NHC ligands.

A series of Hoveyda-Grubbs second-generation catalysts containing N-alkyl/N′-aryl N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were synthesized and investigated in representative olefin metathesis reactions. Steric perturbations of unsymmetrical NHCs were achieved through modulation of the hindrance of alkyl (neopentyl, neophyl, cyclohexyl) and aryl (2-isopropylphenyl, mesityl) substituents at the nitrogen atoms in combination with different backbone configurations (syn and anti). The NHC substitution patterns strongly influence the stability and reactivity of the corresponding complexes. In general, complexes bearing an anti NHC backbone are more stable and more active than their corresponding syn isomers. In both the series, the presence of bulky, highly branched N-alkyl groups tends to give reduced catalytic differences between syn and anti isomers, whereas the nature of the N′-aryl substituent (2-isopropylphenyl or mesityl) gives rise to different activity and/or selectivity. Of note, an N′-mesityl catalyst with anti backbone was found to be highly competent in the ethenolysis of ethyl oleate, achieving up to 90% selectivity for the formation of terminal olefins.
